Ingredients

  • 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1–2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, maple syrup, Sriracha, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add cauliflower florets and toss to coat evenly.
  4. Spread cauliflower on the baking sheet in a single layer.
  5. Roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until edges are golden and tender.
  6. Garnish with parsley and a squeeze of lemon if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Substitute maple syrup with honey or agave if needed.
  • Add roasted peanuts or cashews for crunch.
  • A splash of soy sauce or tamari deepens the umami flavor.
  • Great in tacos with slaw and avocado.
  • Adjust heat by varying Sriracha or adding red pepper flakes.
