Steps

  • Preheat oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
    ‍
  • Prepare the cauliflower: remove tough stem, and poke holes across the top and bottom to help the glaze soak in.

  • Lightly grease a snug baking dish (1–2 inches of space around the cauliflower).

  • Place the cauliflower in the dish, cover with parchment, and bake for 10–12 minutes.
    ‍
  • Blend the glaze: add all glaze ingredients to a blender and process until smooth.

  • Remove the cauliflower, let cool 3 minutes, then flip it over and pour some glaze into the stem area so it seeps inside.

  • Flip back and brush generously with glaze. Return to the oven for 15 minutes.

  • Reduce oven temperature to 375Β°F (190Β°C).

  • Add sliced carrots and mushrooms around the cauliflower. Drizzle with more glaze.

  • Add 3 tbsp water to the blender to rinse remaining glaze and pour around the vegetables.

  • Cover loosely with foil and bake another 20 minutes.

  • Check tenderness; bake 5 minutes more if needed.

  • Let rest uncovered in the warm oven for a few minutes.

  • Garnish with green onion and serve with rice or warm rolls.
  • Enjoy !
