Splish Splash Pepper-Roasted Cauliflower
- Yield: 2-4 servings
Ingredients
- 1/4cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 to 3tablespoons dry sherry
- 2tablespoons canola oil
- 1teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
- 1teaspoon sugar
- 1large head cauliflower, cut into smallish, evenly sized florets
- 1medium jalapeno, finely chopped (optional; taste for heat level before using!)
- Pepper-flavored vodka
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F and place a rack in the middle. In a large bowl, stir together the soy sauce, sherry, oil, pepper, and sugar. Add the cauliflower florets and toss to coat. Let the cauliflower marinate for 20 minutes, tossing occasionally.
- On a large, parchment-lined baking sheet, arrange the cauliflower in a single layer. Sprinkle the optional jalapeño over the cauliflower before roasting (or after roasting, if you don’t mind the crunch). Roast until tender and slightly blackened, about 20 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature, splashed lightly with the vodka.
