Ingredients
  • 1 whole cauliflower head
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 4 teaspoon olive oil, divided
  • cayenne pepper, to taste
  • salt, to taste
  • ½ cup Siracha sauce
  • ⅓ cup rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
Instructions
  1. Heat the oven to 450°F/230°.
  2. Remove any leaves from the cauliflower and cut off any extra stem, so that the cauliflower will lay flat in a pan.
  3. Cut the garlic clove in half and rub it all over the cauliflower.
  4. In a small bowl or cup, mix 2 teaspoons of the olive oil with a sprinkling of cayenne pepper and salt. Taste and adjust the seasonings to your liking.
  5. Brush this olive oil mixture all over the cauliflower.
  6. Put the cauliflower on a rimmed baking sheet or small casserole dish. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes.
  7. Meanwhile, in a small bowl or jar mix together the Siracha, rice vinegar, remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil, and sauce sauce. Stir or mix until well combined.
  8. After the cauliflower has been in the oven for 30 minutes, remove from the oven and brush half of the Siracha mixture over the cauliflower. If it's a little more than half it's ok, just leave some. Return to the oven and cook for 15-20 minutes more. The cauliflower is done when a knife can be easily stuck through it.
  9. Remove from the oven, and pour the remaining Siracha sauce over it.
  10. To serve, stab with a knife and then artfully squeeze some Siracha, straight from the container, around the knife to look like dripping blood.
  11. When ready to eat, cut into slices and serve with your favorite creamy dressing.
