I love cauliflower; it is one flexible vegetable you can flavor with any kind of spices or sauces you like. In this recipe I created Asian inspired cauliflower bites which are vegan, delicious and great way to entertain family and friends.  

Serves: 3-4

Preparation Time: 15minutes

Cook time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

1 medium size chopped (6-7 cups florets)

1 cup of soy sauce

1 tablespoon of lime juice

2 teaspoons of grated fresh ginger

1 tablespoon of spicy chili paste

1/3 cup of honey

1/3 cup of water ₊ 1 tablespoon of water

1 tablespoon corn starch

1 tablespoon of olive oil

1 tablespoon of sesame seeds

2 Persian cucumbers cut into ½ inch slices ( optional )

1/2 cup of thinly sliced green onions just the green pats ( optional )

Directions:

1-Preheat the oven to 425 Fahrenheit Degrees

2-Place cauliflower florets onto a large cookie sheet covered with parchment paper and drizzle with olive oil.

3- Roast the cauliflower florets about 15-20 minutes until they start to soften.

4-Meanvile add  soy sauce, lime juice, grated fresh ginger, spicy chili paste, honey and  1/3 cup of water into a large sauce pan over medium high heat and bring it to boil. It takes about 4-6 minutes to boil.

5-Add 1 tablespoon of corn starch and 1 tablespoon of water in a small bowl and mix until the cornstarch is dissolved.

6- Slowly whisk this into the saucepan while the sauce is boiling.

8- Pour the sauce over florets and broil 5-10 minutes.

9- Sprinkle sesame seeds and serve with cucumbers slices and/or green onion slices.

Enjoy!
