Cooking oil spray
-
1 teaspoon garlic salt
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
1 tablespoon green onions, sliced
-
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
For the Sweet and Spicy Sticky Sauce:
-
¼ cup honey
-
2 garlic cloves, minced
-
¼ cup low sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos
-
1 tablespoon sriracha
-
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Toss cauliflower florets with cooking oil spray, garlic salt, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Roast cauliflower for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and tender.

Once cauliflower is roasted, transfer it to a large bowl and toss with the sweet and spicy sauce until evenly coated.
