Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 head white cauliflower
  • 1 head of purple cauliflower
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 lime
  • 1/2 cup coconut aminos (or tamari soy sauce/liquid aminios)
  • 1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha hot sauce
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1 tablespoon arrowroot/tapioa flour
  • 3 tablespoons sesame oil
  • microgreens, for garnishing
  • sesame seeds, for garnishing
  • red pepper flakes, for garnishing (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
  2. Chop the washed cauliflower into medium-sized pieces.
  3. Chop the washed sweet potatoes, skins on, into medium-sized pieces.
  4. Place the cauliflower and sweet potatoes on a large parchment-lined baking sheet and drizzle generously with sesame oil and roast for 15-20 minutes, tossing occasionally.
  5. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, whisk together the coconut aminos (soy-free soy sauce or you can use regular gluten-free soy sauce), maple syrup, and sriracha.
  6. In a small bowl, stir together the arrowroot/tapioca flour and bourbon until the flour is dissolved and then whisk it into the maple sriracha mixture.

  8. Remove the cauliflower and sweet potatoes from the oven, and turn your oven up to broil.
  9. Pour the maple sriracha sauce over and then lightly toss. Place back in the oven and broil for about 10 minutes, tossing frequently, watching carefully not to burn it.
