Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Cauliflower florets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Peanut butter (smooth)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1.5 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons Chopped roasted peanuts (for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the cauliflower evenly onto the prepared baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the florets are golden brown and tender.
While the cauliflower bakes, prepare the peanut sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, minced garlic, grated ginger, water, and crushed red chili flakes until smooth and well combined.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed (add an extra splash of soy sauce for saltiness or more maple syrup for sweetness).
Once the cauliflower is roasted, transfer it to a serving dish and drizzle generously with the peanut sauce.
Garnish with chopped roasted peanuts and fresh cilantro.
Serve warm and enjoy! Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
