Sticky Cauliflower Bites
This Sticky Cauliflower Recipe is our go-to after school snack, side dish idea, and party food! Crispy little bites slathered in the most flavorful sauce! I can't wait for you to try these!
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!
