Ingredients
For the Cauliflower
- 1 large head cauliflower (leaves trimmed, core intact)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt & pepper, to taste
For the Spicy Sriracha Honey Glaze
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp Sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp melted butter or sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 medium lime, juiced (optional for brightness)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking dish with foil or parchment paper.
- Rinse and pat the cauliflower dry. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub to coat evenly.
Roasting
- Place the cauliflower head in the dish. Roast for 35–40 minutes uncovered, until tender and golden on the edges.
- In a bowl, mix honey, Sriracha, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and butter until smooth.
Glazing
- Remove the cauliflower from the oven. Brush generously with the spicy glaze. Return to the oven for another 10–15 minutes, basting once more halfway through.
Serving
- Remove when deeply golden and sticky. Garnish with chopped cilantro, green onions, sesame seeds, or lime wedges.
Notes
Store leftovers in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at a low temperature or an air fryer for best results.
