Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

  3. Spread the cauliflower florets onto the prepared baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden and slightly crispy. Remove from the oven and set aside.

  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the ketchup, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and brown sugar to make the sweet and sour sauce. Set aside.

  5. In a large pan or wok, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, sliced red bell pepper, and minced garlic. Stir-fry for a few minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  6. Add the pineapple chunks to the pan and cook for an additional minute.

  7. Pour the sweet and sour sauce over the vegetables in the pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  8. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the pan, stirring continuously, until the sauce has thickened.

  9. Gently fold in the roasted cauliflower florets, ensuring they are coated in the sweet and sour sauce.

  10. Allow the cauliflower to simmer in the sauce for a few more minutes to absorb the flavors.

  11. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.

  12. Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle chopped green onions on top for a fresh finish.

  13. Serve the Sweet and Sour Cauliflower hot over a bed of fluffy white rice.
