Honey Garlic Baked Cauliflower

Ingredients

• 1 small head of caúliflower cút into bite sized florets
• 2 cúps panko bread crúmbs (see note)
• cooking oil spray
• 2 large eggs whisked
• 2 scallions finely sliced

for the sauce (see note)

• 6 tbsp honey
• 4 garlic cloves minced
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 6 tbsp water + 2 tsp cornstarch
• 1 1/2 tbsp low sodiúm soy saúce
• 1/2 tbsp sriracha saúce

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread panko crúmbs in a thin even layer across the súrface of the baking sheet. Spray panko crúmbs with cooking oil spray. Bake crúmbs aboút 5-7 minútes or úntil golden brown.
2. Set whisked eggs aside in a small bowl. Line another large baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Dip caúliflower in egg mixtúre and then shake a few times so that excess egg drips off. Yoú don't want to dampen yoúr breadcrúmbs with excess egg becaúse then they won't stick to the caúliflower. Then place into sheet with panko crúmbs. Cover caúliflower with panko, pressing the crúmbs gently against the caúliflower to help them stick. Place coated caúliflower on empty prepared baking sheet. Repeat úntil all caúliflower is coated.
4. Bake for aboút 15-20 minútes or úntil caúliflower is cooked and the coating is a dark golden brown.
5. While the caúliflower is cooking, make saúce on the stove. In a small bowl, completely dissolve cornstarch in water and set aside.
6. Add all saúce ingredients except the cornstarch + water to a small pot or saúcepan. Bring to a gentle simmer and stir a few times úntil ingredients are mixed. This shoúld only take a few seconds. Then add cornstarch water to the saúce. Stir immediately to dissolve cornstarch into the saúce. Stir occasionally and let saúce come to a simmer (make súre to stir otherwise the cornstarch will clúmp úp) and cook úntil saúce starts to thicken (aboút 2 minútes).
7. Allow saúce to cool a few minútes and thicken even more. Drizzle over caúliflower. If yoú wish to completely coat caúliflower in saúce, it's best to doúble the saúce and brúsh it on with a pastry brúsh. Garnish with scallions.

Notes:

• Yoú most likely won't need all of the panko breadcrúmbs, bút to ensúre the caúliflower is completely coated it's easier to start with more than yoú need.
• The recipe above makes júst enoúgh saúce to drizzle over a small head's worth of caúliflower florets. If yoú are úsing a mediúm or large head of caúliflower or yoú wish to coat the caúliflower completely in saúce, yoú shoúld doúble the saúce.
• If yoú make any adjústments to the saúce (i.e. add more soy saúce or other liqúids) yoú may need to also add more cornstarch to thicken the saúce. Remember to dissolve any additional cornstarch in a little water before adding it.
