Sweet, spicy and salty maple-sriracha roasted cauliflower; the perfect side dish Yum!
This maple sriracha roasted cauliflower is my current favourite side dish! I am a big fan of maple syrup and sriracha (chili sauce) and it’s the perfect sauce for crispy-tender roasted cauliflower! This side dish is as easy as cutting a head of cauliflower into bite sized florets, tossing in the maple-sriracha sauce and roasting before tossing it with the remaining sauce just before serving. As the cauliflower roasts the sauce caramelizes on the edges of the cauliflower magically transforming and infusing the flavour into the cauliflower!

I’m not a maple fan. Do you think this would work with honey instead?
Honey s amazing instead of maple syrup!
This was delicious!! A bit spicy for my kiddos, but I’m thinking I’ll do half the sriracha on their portion next time. It was a hit with my husband too! Definitely adding this to our list of sides we use frequently. Thank you!
I LOVED this. Only problem was the cauliflower shrank soooo much. I ate it all. It didn’t look like the picture but I now know you need to make sure it’s really drained and not packed together which makes it steam. I will try it with broccoli next.
I saw this and wanted to turn it into a meal rather than a side, so I added a can of chickpeas and upped the sauce ingredients. Paired with rice, this was amazing! A bit spicy, but the rice helped cut the heat and bulk it up even more. Awesome simple recipe!
