Ingredients​

• 1 Large Head Cauliflower cut into bite-sized florets
• Cooking Oil Spray
• 1 teaspoon Garlic Salt
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon Green Onions sliced
• 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds

For the Sweet and Spicy Sticky Sauce:​

• ¼ Cup Honey
• 2 Garlic Cloves minced
• ¼ Cup Low sodium soy sauce or coconut amino
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha
• 1 tablespoon Hoisin Sauce
• 1 teaspoon Gluten-free flour or cornstarch

Instructions​

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking tray with parchment pepper.
• Arrange the 1 Large Head Cauliflower florets in a single layer onto the prepared baking tray and spray with Cooking Oil Spray. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon Garlic Salt, Salt and pepper, to taste, and using your hands, toss well to coat.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until it starts to brown on the edges. While cauliflower is cooking, combine all the sauce ingredients ( ¼ Cup Honey, 2 Garlic Cloves (minced), ¼ Cup Low sodium soy sauce or coconut amino, 1 tablespoon Sriracha, 1 tablespoon Hoisin Sauce, and 1 teaspoon Gluten-free flour or cornstarch ) into a small saucepan and whisk until well incorporated.
• Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir frequently, until sauce thickens about 4-5 minutes.
• Once the cauliflower has finished baking, remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes.
• Pour the sauce over and toss until fully coated. Top with 1 tablespoon Green Onions (sliced) and 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds and enjoy!

Notes​

• Soak the cauliflower in salted water to make sure all debris is removed. Rinse well.
• Cut the florets into even sizes to ensure even cooking.
• Use cornstarch if you can, it will make the sauce thicken well.
• Sometimes it is hard to get that really crispy cauliflower in the oven. Feel free to air-fry them. Follow my air fryer instructions.
• Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
