Asian BBQ Roasted Cauliflower

Looking for some other way to cook cauliflower? Try this Asian BBQ Roasted Cauliflower recipe! I am passionate about turning simple ingredients into delicious meals the whole family will enjoy. And this recipe perfectly fits the bill. Oven-roasted cauliflower florets get tossed in Asian-style BBQ sauce and finally baked in the oven for a sticky-sweet glaze. To add some crunch, garnish with roasted peanuts. This recipe is sure to please even the pickiest eaters!

For this recipe, you need one large cauliflower, which yields 6 to 7 cups of florets. Before cutting the cauliflower, remove the large leaves to expose the stem. Using a sharp knife, cut around the stem and remove the core. Using your hands, separate the florets. Cut large florets into smaller pieces to keep them roughly the same size, about 1 to 2 inches. Don’t throw away those leaves, core, and stem! They are completely edible, nutritious, and totally delicious. You can use them in soups and stir-fries, or roast and toss in a salad.     

To make the Asian BBQ Roasted Cauliflower, you will need the following ingredients:
