Ingredients

Cauliflower Marinade

2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 head Cauliflower
1 tsp 5 Spice Chinese Powder
1 tsp Cayenne powder
1 tsp Garlic, minced Garlic Powder ok too

Topping

2 tsp Olive Oil
2 tsp Chinese Peppercorn
1 tsp Coconut Aminos
2 tsp Sesame Oil
13 pieces Dried Chili Pepper
1 stalk Scallion (optional)

Instructions

Roasting Cauliflower

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a mixing bowl, toss together the olive oil, garlic powder, 5 Spice Chinese powder, and Cayenne Powder with the Cauliflower Florets. Mix thoroughly. Sprinkle salt to taste.
After about 15 minutes, the oven should be ready. Baste a oven pan with oil to prevent the cauliflowers from sticking to the pan.
Move Cauliflower into oven. Roast for about 20-25 minutes depending on how you like your cauliflower. Longer for more crispiness. Make sure to stir at the halfway point.
After 20-25 minutes remove the cauliflower from the oven.

Let's add some spice

In a frying pan or wok, heat to medium. Wait about 2 minutes til pan is heated. Then add olive oil. Once olive oil is hot, toss in the peppercorns and dried chili peppers. Let it infuse with the oil. This will take about a couple of minutes or when dried chili peppers have become crispy.
Transfer the roasted cauliflower. Pour in the sesame oil and coconut aminos over the cauliflower. Increase heat to medium high and stir fry for about 2-3 minutes. Move cauliflower over to
Top with chopped Scallions and enjoy!
