  1. Preheat oven to 425° F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Cut the cauliflower into bite-size florets. Drizzle with olive oil and toss with tapioca starch. Arrange in a single layer on the baking sheet and bake 40 minutes turning once or twice.

  3. In the last 5 minutes of baking time make the sauce. Combine all ingredients in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Whisking constantly bring it to a simmer. It should thicken immediately. Remove from heat and toss the sauce with the baked cauliflower in a large bowl.

  4. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions.
