• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions:

1. Prep & Roast the Cauli:
   Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss cauliflower with olive oil, salt, pepper, and cornstarch (if using). Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping once, until golden and crispy.
2. Make the Glaze:
   While cauliflower roasts, whisk together honey, soy sauce, chili sauce, vinegar, and sesame oil in a small pan over low heat. Warm until slightly thickened, 2–3 minutes.
3. Toss It Up:
   Once the cauliflower is roasty and ready, toss it in a large bowl with the glaze until well-coated. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and any fresh toppings.
4. Serve That Cosmic Crunch:
   Best enjoyed hot and sticky — on its own, over rice, or in lettuce cups for a fun twist!
