Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, sriracha, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Add fresh cauliflower florets to the bowl, tossing them in the glaze until each piece is thoroughly coated.
Spread the coated cauliflower florets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a single layer.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Once the cauliflower is done baking, remove it from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
