Tender cauliflower florets, glazed in maple and Sriracha, roasted for a bold, sweet-heat flavor that satisfies.

# Ingredient List:

→ Cauliflower and Marinade

01 - 1 large head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
02 - 3 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
04 - 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
05 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
07 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
08 - 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

→ Garnish

09 - 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
10 - Fresh cilantro or green onions, chopped (optional)

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Set oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) to ensure proper caramelization.
02 - Wash and break down the cauliflower into bite-sized florets for even roasting.
03 - In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, pure maple syrup, Sriracha sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
04 - Add cauliflower florets to the bowl and mix until all pieces are thoroughly coated with the marinade.
05 - Spread the coated florets in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet for even roasting.
06 - Place baking sheet in preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, turning the florets halfway through to promote uniform browning.
07 - Pierce a floret with a fork; cauliflower should be tender with caramelized edges when done.
08 - Remove from oven and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Garnish with chopped cilantro or sliced green onions if desired. Serve immediately while hot.

# Supplementary Details:

01 - For best caramelization, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet and ensure florets are in a single layer.
