Ingredients

• 1 head Cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Wash and dry the cauliflower head, then cut it into bite-sized florets.

Step 3

Place the florets onto a large baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, then toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.

Step 5

While the cauliflower roasts, prepare the honey lemon glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, soy sauce, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes (if using).

Step 6

After 20 minutes of roasting, remove the cauliflower from the oven. Drizzle the honey lemon glaze evenly over the florets and gently toss to coat.

Step 7

Return the cauliflower to the oven and roast for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the glaze to caramelize slightly.

Step 8

Remove the cauliflower from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy the sweet and tangy flavors of your Honey Lemon Glazed Cauliflower!
