1 Large Head Organic Cauliflower

1 c. Water

3/4 c. Blanched All Purpose Flour

1/4 c. Sriracha Hot Sauce (Use more or less, depending on your desired heat level)

1/2 c. Orange Marmalade

1/2 c. Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice

Preheat oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Chop cauliflower into 1.5-2 inch pieces.

Place battered cauliflower onto baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, tossing halfway through.
