Sticky Cauliflower Bites

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 large head cauliflower
  • 2 Tbsps arrowroot powder or cornstarch
  • 2-3 Tbsps water
  • 1/2 cup coconut aminos Braggs liquid aminos, or low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup or raw honey
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 Tbsps toasted sesame oil divided
  • 1 tsp powdered ginger
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

Garnish:

  • 1 Tbsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 450 degrees f. and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Drizzle with one Tablespoon of sesame oil and brush it onto the entire surface of your sheet pan.
  • Cut the cauliflower into 1-inch pieces and spread onto your prepared sheet pan (I like to cut them a bit bigger since they'll continue to break while stirring).
  • Roast in your preheated oven for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl whisk the arrowroot/cornstarch with 2-3 Tablespoons of water until completely smooth.
  • Add in all of the remaining ingredients, except for the sesame seeds, and whisk until everything is well combined.
  • Once the florets are 15 minutes into baking, carefully remove from the oven.
  • Pour your sticky sauce over the cauliflower and stir to coat, then arrange them evenly without overlapping.
  • Continue to bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden and sticky. You may want to give them another stir halfway through baking time, to coat with the sauce.
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  • Enjoy them while they’re hot!
