Honey-Soy-Garlic Cauliflower
Note to Linda - when you made this last, there was way too much soy sauce. I cut the amount in half in the recipe. I also reduced the sriracha and added red pepper flake. Consider using sambal instead if you have it; it’s a garlicky spicy sauce. We thought it could use more acid, so I added a lime.
