Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.,Cut the cauliflower into even-sized florets for uniform cooking.,In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.,In a small bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin until smooth.,Pour the sweet and spicy glaze over the cauliflower and toss to coat each floret evenly.,Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the florets aren’t overcrowded for even roasting.,Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are crispy and the cauliflower is tender.,Remove the cauliflower from the oven and garnish with fresh cilantro, sesame seeds, sliced jalapeño, and toasted almonds or cashews. Optionally, sprinkle with crispy wonton strips.,Serve immediately while it’s still hot and crispy.

Notes

For a milder version, reduce the sriracha or substitute with a milder hot sauce.,Fresh cauliflower holds up best during roasting and absorbs the glaze more effectively than frozen cauliflower.,For added flavor, squeeze fresh lime or lemon juice over the cauliflower after baking.
