Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the cauliflower head into small florets and place them in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Season the Cauliflower

    Drizzle the Sichuan oil over the cauliflower florets and toss to coat evenly. Add the secret spice blend and toss again.

  3. 3

    Roast the Cauliflower

    Spread the seasoned cauliflower florets on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until charred and tender, turning halfway through.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together the tamari sauce and sesame seeds. Set aside.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    Once the cauliflower is roasted, remove it from the oven. Drizzle the prepared tamari-sesame sauce over the hot cauliflower and sprinkle with crumbled toasted nori.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately, garnished with additional sesame seeds if desired.
