Description

Golden roasted cauliflower tossed in a sticky maple-soy glaze with garlic and ginger—an easy, flavor-packed vegan side dish.


Ingredients

1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets

2 tbsp olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

¼ cup maple syrup (or honey)

2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

1 tsp garlic powder (or 2 cloves garlic, minced)

½ tsp ginger powder (or fresh grated ginger)

Optional: sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish


Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment.

Toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden.

In a bowl, whisk maple syrup, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and ginger.

Drizzle glaze over roasted cauliflower and toss to coat.

Return to oven for 5–7 minutes until sticky and bubbling.

Garnish with sesame seeds and scallions. Serve warm.

Notes

Add red pepper flakes for heat or a splash of sesame oil for extra depth.

Works well with roasted carrots or bell peppers mixed in.
