These sweet, savory, and sticky poppers will be devoured by both vegetarians and meat-eaters. The balsamic vinegar reduced and got sticky and sweet and syrupy in the oven, with just a hint of garlic and rosemary.
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees and line a baking sheet with foil.
Cut the cauliflower into bite size florets. Whisk the flour and milk together.
Toss the florets in the batter to coat.
Place the cauliflower onto the baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 15-20 minutes.
While it’s baking prepare the glaze. Combine the balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, honey, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Remove the cauliflower from the oven and drizzle the glaze over the cauliflower.
Bake for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and gently toss and flip the cauliflower making sure to coat with the glaze. Bake for an additional 5 minutes.
Enjoy!!!
