  • Author: Lana
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets
– 2 tablespoons cornstarch
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
– 1/2 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
– 2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave nectar
– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
– 1 teaspoon red chili flakes (adjust to taste)


Instructions

Making Easy Vegan General Tso’s Cauliflower is straightforward. Follow these steps for a delicious meal:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Cauliflower: Place the cauliflower florets in a large bowl.
3. Coat in Cornstarch: Sprinkle the cornstarch over the cauliflower and toss well to coat evenly.
4. Add Oil: Drizzle vegetable oil over the florets and mix until coated.
5. Bake the Cauliflower: Spread the coated cauliflower on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and crispy, tossing halfway through.
6. Make the Sauce: While the cauliflower bakes, combine soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, and red chili flakes in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until it simmers, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened (about 5 minutes).
7. Combine: Once the cauliflower is done, transfer it to a large bowl and pour the sauce over it. Toss until all florets are well-coated.
8. Serve: Optionally, garnish with sliced green onions or sesame seeds for added flavor and crunch.

This easy method will yield a mouthwatering dish every time!
