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?

Maple Sriracha Roasted Cauliflower
Ingredients
- 1 head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sriracha
- 2 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup
- Salt and pepper to taste (I recommend a 1/4 teaspoon of each)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°(F).
- Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized pieces; transfer to a large bowl; set aside. In a small bowl combine olive oil, sriracha, maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Pour the sriracha mixture over the cauliflower and mix well, making sure the cauliflower is well coated in the sauce.
- Spread the cauliflower onto a large baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, stirring once at the half way point. Increase the oven temperature to 475 and bake for another 12 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve at once.
This is delish. After roasting the cauliflower dump it in a bowl. Add more sriracha maple drizzle (without the olive oil), blue cheese crumbles, fresh thyme leaves, slivered almonds & chives. Toss it all together and swoon. I know it sounds strange but it is DEVINE! This is also delicious on sweet potato fries. You’re welcome.
I strongly suggest lining the baking pan with tinfoil as the maple syrup “burns” to the pan very easily, making clean-up a little difficult.
The recipe itself is simple and easy and I do enjoy the little bit heat and sweet together. Definitely as nice change of pace from my normal roasted cauliflower.
The combination of flavors makes this dish a delight
I need to do a time bake at the same time as chicken that needs to cook while I’m gone. Would this work to do at a lower temp, like 375 for an hour, the turn up for about 5 minutes when I get home?
