Yield 4-6 servings, as a side dish

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 head of cauliflower, broken by hand into florets
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons tahini

1 1/2 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons toasted white sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, oil, salt, coriander, oregano, and pepper and toss well to evenly coat the cauliflower with the oil and spices. Transfer to a sheet pan and arrange in an even layer, making spaces between the pieces as much as possible. Roast the cauliflower in the oven for 20 minutes, turning the tray and lightly tossing the pieces halfway through.
  • While the cauliflower roasts, combine the tahini, miso, vinegar, and 1 1/2 tablespoons water in a small mixing bowl, and whisk until smooth.
  • Once the cauliflower is done, remove it from the oven, transfer to a mixing bowl, and toss with the sauce and sesame seeds to coat evenly.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup rice flour or all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup 2 percent milk
1 head cauliflower, cut into bite-size pieces
Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking sheet
1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, plus more for garnish
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon sriracha
3 cloves garlic, minced
Sliced scallions, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the cauliflower: Place a baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. (If your cauliflower is large, preheat 2 baking sheets.)
  • Whisk the flour together with the garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk in the milk and 1/4 cup water until smooth. Toss the cauliflower in the mixture until evenly coated. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon the cauliflower into the baking sheet, leaving any excess sauce behind in the bowl. (Do not overcrowd the baking sheet or the cauliflower will steam and not become crispy; you may need to bake in batches or use two baking sheets.) Bake the cauliflower for 20 minutes.
  • For the sesame sauce: Meanwhile, put the soy, honey, sesame oil, vinegar, cornstarch, sesame seeds, ginger, sriracha, garlic and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk together thoroughly. Bring to a boil, then reduce the temperature to medium-low and let simmer, stirring frequently, until the sauce becomes glossy and thick, about 2 minutes. Remove the cauliflower from the oven and toss with half of the sesame sauce. Return the cauliflower to the oven until dark and glossy, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove to a serving bowl and drizzle with more sauce. Add sesame seeds and scallions over the top and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower: Look for a head of cauliflower that is firm and has tightly packed florets. Avoid any heads that have brown spots or bruises.
  • Cut the cauliflower into even-sized florets: This will help them cook evenly. If the florets are too large, they may not cook through in the center.
  • Toss the cauliflower with oil and seasonings: This will help them roast evenly and develop a nice flavor. You can use any type of oil you like, but olive oil or avocado oil are good choices.
  • Roast the cauliflower at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and get crispy. The ideal temperature is around 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Roast the cauliflower until it is tender and slightly browned: This may take around 20-25 minutes. Be sure to check on the cauliflower regularly to make sure it doesn't overcook.
  • Serve the cauliflower immediately: Roasted cauliflower is best served hot out of the oven. You can garnish it with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice.
