Ingredients

  • 1 large head of cauliflower (approx. 2 lbs), cut into 1-inch florets
  • 3 tablespoons pure grade A maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon low -sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon finely sliced scallions for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the convection oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a heavy-gauge rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sugar adhesion.
  • In a large stainless steel mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, sriracha, olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until a homogenous emulsion is formed.
  • Introduce the cauliflower florets into the bowl. Use a silicone spatula to fold the florets through the glaze until every surface is thoroughly and evenly coated.
  • Transfer the glazed cauliflower to the prepared baking sheet. Arrange in a single layer, ensuring at least 0.5 inches of space between florets to allow for proper steam escape and optimal browning.
  • Roast for 15 minutes. Remove the sheet from the oven and use a spatula to toss and rotate the florets to ensure even heat distribution.
  • Return to the oven and roast for an additional 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and the exterior edges exhibit significant dark caramelization and char.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 2 minutes on the sheet pan to let the glaze set. Transfer to a serving vessel and garnish with sliced scallions.
