Sticky Sesame Cauliflower with Greens

This recipe is healthy, satisfying and delicious 👌

The cauliflower gets baked and then dipped in a sticky sauce. I then used the leftover sauce as a salad dressing...so good 😋

Recipe:

-1 head cauliflower, chopped into florets

-1 1/3 cup cassava flour

-2 cups water

-1/2 tsp sea salt

Sauce:

-1/2 cup coconut aminos

-2 tbsp maple syrup

-2 tsp sesame oil

-2 tbsp lime juice

-1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

-1 tbsp tomato paste

-3 garlic cloves, minced

-1 tbsp grated ginger

-1 tbsp arrowroot powder

-1/2 cup water, more if needed

-Line a baking sheet with parchment paper

-One by one, transfer the cauliflower to the baking sheet. Shake off excess batter and leave space between each piece on the baking sheet.
