Bourbon Cauliflower Recipe

American · Appetizer · 45 min total

Crispy roasted cauliflower florets are tossed in a sticky, sweet, and smoky bourbon glaze, making an irresistible appetizer or side dish.

Ingredients

• 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup bourbon
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water (slurry)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, until tender and lightly browned.
3. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine bourbon, honey, soy sauce, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, and garlic. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
4. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook, stirring constantly, until the glaze thickens, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
5. Once cauliflower is roasted, transfer to a large bowl and pour the bourbon glaze over it. Toss to coat evenly.
6. Return glazed cauliflower to the baking sheet and spread in a single layer. Broil on high for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully, until glaze is caramelized and bubbly.
7. Serve immediately, garnished with sliced green onions or sesame seeds if desired.

Tips

• For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the glaze.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven to maintain crispness.
