Sweet Chili Roasted Cauliflower

Sweet Chili Roasted Cauliflower

I love roasted Cauliflower so much that I can pretty much wolf down an entire head in one sitting! As much as I love it straight from the oven I sometimes like to spice things up. This version has a nice kick from the chili paste and peppers but is balanced with the sweetness. If you love things spicy then feel free to add more chili paste or use a hotter pepper. I like to serve it with Rice but it would go great with quinoa or noodles.

Ingredients

1 head of Cauliflower

1-2 Tbsp of Grape Seed Oil for roasting

1 1/2 Tbsp of Chili Paste ( I used one from Lahtt)

3 tsp of Rice Vinegar

3 tsp of Beefree Honee or other sweetener

2 tsp of Soy Sauce

1 Fresno Pepper seeded and chopped ( you can use a pepper with more heat such as a Thai Chili)

3/4 cup Water

1 Tbsp of Cornstarch mixed with 3 Tbsp of Water to make a slurry

2 cups of cooked Rice

Green Onion sliced for garnish

Directions

1. Cut the Cauliflower into florets and toss with Grape Seed Oil, Salt & Pepper. Lay them on a baking sheet and roast them at 375 for 25 minutes. Flip and continue roasting for another 20 minutes

2. In a small sauce pan on med heat add the Water, Chili Paste, Rice Vinegar, Soy Sauce, Sweetener, chopped Pepper. Bring to a soft boil.

3. Add in the Cornstarch slurry and mix until sauce thickens which will happen fairly quickly.

4. In a large bowl toss the roasted Cauliflower with the Sweet Chili sauce until completely coated, top with Green Onions and serve over Rice.
