Ingredients

  • 2 Heads Cauliflower cut into small florets
  • ½ Cup Maple Syrup
  • ¼ Cup Cornstarch
  • ¼ Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 3 Tablespoons Ketchup
  • 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce, Tamari, or Liquid Aminos
  • 2 Cloves Garlic minced

  • 1 Medium Yellow Onion small diced
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper small diced

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Rinse the cauliflower florets. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and bake 25-30 minutes until starting to brown.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce. In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, cornstarch, ketchup, liquid aminos, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
