Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and dry the cauliflower head, then cut it into bite-sized florets.
Place the florets onto a large baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, then toss to coat evenly.
Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.
While the cauliflower roasts, prepare the honey lemon glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, soy sauce, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes (if using).
After 20 minutes of roasting, remove the cauliflower from the oven. Drizzle the honey lemon glaze evenly over the florets and gently toss to coat.
Return the cauliflower to the oven and roast for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the glaze to caramelize slightly.
Remove the cauliflower from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy the sweet and tangy flavors of your Honey Lemon Glazed Cauliflower!
