Sticky Sesame Cauliflower

Ingredients:

1 small head of cauliflower chopped into small florets
1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce ( I used mushroom soy, and it was too strong)
1/4 cup or more pure maple syrup
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1 Tbsp. mince garlic
1/12 tsp toasted sesame oil (I didn't use any)
1/2 tsp powdered ginger
1 1/2  Tbls cornstarch
1/4 cup water
sesame seeds and scallion, for garnish

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees, and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Cut cauliflower into florets, then slice so one side of each floret is flat.  Arrange in a single layer on your pan.  Bake 10 minutes on the center rack.  Meanwhile, whisk together the soy sauce, sweetener, vinegar, garlic,
ginger and oil (if you are using) in a saucepan.  Bring to a boil.  While waiting stir together the cornstarch and water until cornstarch dissolves fully, then slowly whisk this into the saucepan as soon as it boils.  Turn heat to medium and cook 2 minutes, stirring more frequently once it returns to boiling.  Cook until thick.

Flip the cauliflower and bake another 10 minutes.  After the 10 minutes are up if you want them crispy, move them to the top rack and broil until golden.

Move the cauliflower into a pan, and pour sauce over them.

Serve over rice and sprinkle sesame seeds on top and also scallions (didn't have any)
