Instructions
Making Maple Sriracha Cauliflower Bliss is a breeze with these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high heat is key to achieving that perfect caramelization.
2. Prepare the Cauliflower: Wash and cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets for even cooking.
3. Mix Marinade: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, maple syrup, Sriracha, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly blended.
4. Toss Cauliflower: Add the cauliflower florets to the marinade. Toss until every piece is evenly coated in the delightful sauce.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the marinated cauliflower on a baking sheet in a single layer. This ensures they roast evenly for maximum flavor.
6. Roast Cauliflower: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes. Turn the florets halfway through to encourage even browning.
7. Check for Doneness: The cauliflower should be tender and caramelized at the edges when ready. A fork can easily pierce the florets.
8. Garnish: Once cooked, remove the cauliflower from the oven and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Garnish with fresh cilantro or sliced green onions if desired.
9. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Maple Sriracha Cauliflower Bliss while it’s hot, allowing the flavors to shine through.
By following these steps, you can effortlessly create a dish that is both satisfying and bursting with rich flavors.
