Ingredients

  • 1 large head cauliflower florets
  • 3 tbsp white miso paste
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes
  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 tbsp chopped scallions

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Toss the cauliflower florets in a light coating of avocado oil and a pinch of salt, then spread them in a single layer.
3
Roast for 20-25 minutes until the edges are deeply golden and crispy.
4
While roasting, whisk together the miso, maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, and chili flakes in a small bowl until smooth.
5
Remove the cauliflower from the oven, pour the glaze directly over the hot florets, and toss thoroughly to ensure an even, sticky coating.
6
Return the pan to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to allow the sugars to caramelize into a glossy finish.
7
Remove immediately, garnish generously with sesame seeds and fresh scallions, and serve hot.
