Cauliflower Bites

Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Cauliflower

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and place them in a large mixing bowl.

2

Coat the Cauliflower

Drizzle the olive oil and teriyaki sauce over the cauliflower florets. Toss them until evenly coated.

3

Bake

Spread the coated cauliflower on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown and crispy, tossing halfway through.

4

Prepare the Aioli

In a separate bowl, combine mayonnaise, grated ginger, grated carrot, minced garlic, lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well until smooth.

5

Serve

Once the cauliflower is done baking, remove from the oven. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced scallions. Serve with the carrot-ginger aioli on the side.
