Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Optional: Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss cauliflower florets with olive oil and spread them on a baking sheet.
  3. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned.
  4. While cauliflower is roasting, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, and cornstarch until smooth.
  5. In a large skillet or wok, heat a teaspoon of oil over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  6. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  7. Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Cook until the sauce thickens.
  8. Add the roasted cauliflower and pineapple chunks to the skillet. Toss to coat evenly with the sauce.
  9. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and well combined.
  10. Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like broccoli or snap peas.
  • Ensure the cornstarch is fully dissolved in the liquid to prevent lumps in the sauce.
