Ingredients
  

  • 1 head cauliflower chopped into florets
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 3 tbsp garlic minced
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar (or apple, white wine, or red vinegar)
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 2 tablespoon water
  • 1 tsp optional sriracha

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 450F degrees.
  • Chop cauliflower into florets then toss with olive oil and salt.
  • Place on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter with garlic and a pinch of salt over medium heat.
  • After a minute or two, and before the garlic browns, add honey, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, ketchup, water and a pinch of salt and stir.
  • Let the sauce simmer and reduce over medium-low heat for 5-8 minutes, stirring often so the bottom doesn’t burn.
  • Once it’s thickened up, you can add sriracha if you’d like — this is optional.
  • Then when the cauliflower is done roasting, remove it from the oven and immediately toss it with the honey garlic sauce.
  • Season with salt and pepper if necessary.
