Ingredients:

• 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper

In a large bowl, toss cauliflower florets with cornstarch until evenly coated

Spread cauliflower out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cauliflower is golden brown and crispy

While cauliflower is baking, prepare the sauce: In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger

Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly

Once cauliflower is done, transfer it to a large mixing bowl
