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?

This cauliflower sounds so good! Why have I never roasted cauliflower with sriracha before? I ask you. 🙂
Love this combination of flavors! My plain ol’ roasted cauliflower will be no more! Pinned 🙂
Thank you, Senika! I know you’re going to love this spicy cauli 😉 xo
You can never go wrong with maple and sriracha!
This sounds delicious. I’ll probably make it tonight. Now I just have to decide what to have along with it. 🙂
Hi Molly. It goes great with almost anything 🙂 But I love it with salmon (if you eat fish) and rice! xo
This is OUT OF THIS WORLD. I’m going to try Brussels Sprouts next week! THANKS!
So happy to hear it, Nanette! I have made this with brussels and it’s just as tasty 🙂 Enjoy!
I am making this right now!!! What should I serve with it?
Hi Cheryle. This goes great with almost anything – chicken, fish, or even just salad.
OmG this was DELISH!!!! I’m making it again tonight!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
So happy to hear it, Cheryle! You’re very welcome 🙂
I just made this and it is yummy. I can’t just have one.
Isn’t it just so delicious?! Even my nephews beg for this veggie dish 😉 Thanks for the sweet comment, Rose.
I just ate a whole head of cauliflower for dinner. Just slightly sweet with enough heat. Very good.
So happy to hear it!
Made this recipe yesterday and my husband had me make it today again because he enjoyed it so much! Of course I enjoyed it as well, love the sweet and a little spicy! Will be adding this recipe to my weekly meals 🙂
So happy to hear both you and your husband are enjoying this one, Jenny! xo
Make it and love it. I make maple sriracha chicken wings they are amazing.
So happy to hear it, Joanna!
I 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!
This was amazing! The spicy sweet was so perfect and I know I’ll be using this recipe again!
AMAZING! 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!!
Enjoyed this with supper tonight. Thanks!
Awesome! Thanks for letting me know, Krista 🙂
I made this and it was great! I was wondering if I made a triple batch and the mashed it like potatoes?
This was so delicious! And easy enough that my husband made it and he enjoyed it too
Hi..can you use frozen cauliflower to make this dish? How would this alter the recipe?
For those who don’t eat meat, this cauli is AMAZING with a baked sweet potato!
This 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
Wow! 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…
Awesome! 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.
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?
