SPICY HONEY-ROASTED CAULIFLOWER



Spicy Honey-Roasted Cauliflower image

Look for small heads of cauliflower (1lb-1 1/2 lbs). If the heads are too large, cut the head down through the stem end. As far as the spices go, use whatever you have on hand, whatever is in season, or whatever you have lingering in the garden. Being flexible is the key. BH&G Magazine, 12/2008 edition.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower: Look for a head of cauliflower that is firm, heavy, and has tightly packed florets. Avoid heads with any signs of bruising or discoloration.
  • Cut the cauliflower into even-sized florets: This will help them cook evenly. You can use a sharp knife or a food processor to cut the cauliflower. Roasted cauliflower should be cut into 1-inch florets for even cooking.
  • Toss the cauliflower with olive oil: This will help the cauliflower to brown and caramelize in the oven. You can use a large bowl or a resealable plastic bag to toss the cauliflower with the olive oil.
  • Season the cauliflower with spices: Use a variety of spices to flavor the cauliflower, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and paprika.
  • Roast the cauliflower at a high temperature: This will help the cauliflower to caramelize and develop a crispy exterior. Roast the cauliflower at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until it is tender and browned.
  • Make the spicy honey sauce: While the cauliflower is roasting, make the spicy honey sauce. Combine honey, Sriracha sauce, and cayenne pepper in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then remove from heat and set aside.
  • Toss the cauliflower with the spicy honey sauce: Once the cauliflower is roasted, toss it with the spicy honey sauce. Serve the cauliflower immediately.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: For a finishing touch, garnish the cauliflower with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley.

Conclusion:

Spicy Honey Roasted Cauliflower is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a party appetizer. The cauliflower is roasted until tender and caramelized, then tossed with a spicy honey sauce. The result is a dish that is both sweet and savory, with a bit of a kick. Whether you are looking for a healthy side dish or a fun and flavorful appetizer, Spicy Honey Roasted Cauliflower is sure to please.
