Instructions
Cauliflower
- Preheat oven to 550°.
- Chop the cauliflower into bite-sized florets & place on a large baking sheet. Toss with 4 Tbsp olive oil, the salt & pepper.
- Put the coated cauliflower in the preheated oven & turn on the broiler. Broil until the top side is browned,7-8 minutes. Flip & roast until the other side is browned,3-4 minutes.
- Heat the orange sauce until hot but not bubbling.
- Remove cauliflower from the oven. Pour sauce over the cauliflower & toss to coat well. Garnish with the parsley, cilantro, hot sauce, or peanuts. Serve.
Orange Sauce
- Add all ingredients EXCEPT oil, garlic & ginger to a bowl & stir until cornstarch is combined.
- Heat oil in a saucepan until warm. Add garlic & ginger. Cook until you smell a strong fragrance.
- Mix bowl ingredients again to completely dissolve the cornstarch. Pour it into the pan. Cook & stir until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Transfer into a bowl to cool immediately. After it cools, transfer to an airtight jar if you are not using it right away. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks or freeze up to 3 months.
