Cauliflower and Glaze

Method

Preparation and Assembly

  1. 1

    Prepare Cauliflower

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil and salt until evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Bake Cauliflower

    Spread the cauliflower on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.

  3. 3

    Make Sweet Chili Glaze

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine sweet chili sauce, chili flakes, brown sugar, and lime juice. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is heated through. Remove from heat.

  4. 4

    Toss Cauliflower

    Once the cauliflower is roasted, transfer it to a large bowl and pour the sweet chili glaze over it. Toss until the cauliflower is well coated.

  5. 5

    Prepare Aioli

    In a small bowl, mix together miso, mayonnaise, minced garlic, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Adjust seasoning as needed.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the chili crisp cauliflower topped with sliced green onions and a drizzle of the black garlic miso aioli.
