Sriracha Cauliflower
Happy Thursday! I hope you’re all enjoying this week so far… and if not, hey – tomorrow is FRIDAY. So there’s that. It’s been cold and rainy here, and my iphone says more snow is most likely heading into town this evening. The silver lining? Our fridge is stocked, the wine cart is full (always), and season 3 of House of Cards is calling my name. Crappy weather has its perks!
Are you getting snow this week, too? Or are you one of the lucky ones and reading this from a tropical island?

March 14, 2016 at 5:43 pmI love this stuff! I’ve served it with main courses, eaten it cold from the fridge as part of my lunch, and srved it warm as an appetizer at parties. Everyone loves it!
Lauren says
March 21, 2016 at 3:25 pmThis was amazing! The spicy sweet was so perfect and I know I’ll be using this recipe again!
JennELKA says
June 1, 2016 at 12:52 amAMAZING! I only had 10 oz of fresh cauliflower so I used about 6 oz thinly sliced carrots, too. I also substituted water for most of the oil and just used about a 1 tsp melted coconut oil. Then I sprinkled all of it with 16 whole raw almonds, 1 tsp roasted Saigon cinnamon, 1 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp pink Himalayan salt, and 2 tsp turmeric. I am estimating all of that since I don’t really measure that stuff. The added ALMONDS AND CARROTS were incredible and the cauliflower just soaked up so much flavor! Incredible!!

Laura says
July 19, 2016 at 5:45 amThis was so delicious! And easy enough that my husband made it and he enjoyed it too
Ania says
September 27, 2016 at 9:24 pmHi..can you use frozen cauliflower to make this dish? How would this alter the recipe?
Chris says
December 14, 2016 at 12:30 amFor those who don’t eat meat, this cauli is AMAZING with a baked sweet potato!
Liz says
April 10, 2017 at 11:30 pmThis is in the oven right now! I made it with wildflower honey, fresh onion, ginger and garlic. I can’t wait to eat this! Thanks
Jayne says
February 25, 2018 at 2:28 pmWow! Made this last night. Absolutely delicious and easy! The only thing I will change is double the recipe as we fought over the last few…
Laura says
March 6, 2018 at 7:45 pmAwesome! I made this the other day and it was fantastic! Even my husband who is not a big veggie fan liked it. I am not always sure if he is just being nice when he says he likes new things I try or if he really likes it especially with veggies. He always takes left overs in his lunch the next day and when I saw him put the cauliflower in as well I knew this recipe was a keeper. He also shared it with one of his fellow employees and he liked it as well and wanted the recipe.
