Maple Sriracha Cauliflower (Printable Version)

Tender roasted cauliflower florets glazed with maple, sriracha, and spices for a sweet, spicy, and crisp bite.

# Ingredients:

→ Vegetables

01 - 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets

→ Glaze

02 - 45 ml olive oil
03 - 30 ml pure maple syrup
04 - 15 to 30 ml sriracha sauce, adjust for desired heat
05 - 5 ml garlic powder
06 - 5 ml onion powder
07 - Salt, to taste
08 - Black pepper, to taste

→ Garnishes (optional)

09 - Fresh parsley, chopped
10 - Lemon wedges

# Steps:

01 - Set oven to 220°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, maple syrup, sriracha, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
03 - Add cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss thoroughly to ensure each piece is evenly glazed.
04 - Arrange the coated florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through for even browning and crispness.
05 - Remove from oven once golden brown. Optionally sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges for acidity.

# Notes:

01 - Roasting at high heat caramelizes the cauliflower, creating a tender inside with crisp edges while intensifying the flavors.
02 - Store leftovers in an airtight container, refrigerate and consume within three days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer to retain crispness.
