maple sweet chili cauliflower

#sowplated #vegan #veganisnotscary #glutenfree #sunrisesanctuary #cauliflower I made the drive to Marysville, Ohio this past weekend to attend the Open Barn Day at Sunrise Sanctuary yesterday (May 11, 2024). This experience alone made my weekend. But afterwards, I had dinner at SOW Plated in Arlington, Ohio (close to Columbus). According to the restaurant’s website, “SŌW Plated is a made-from-scratch, health-inspired restaurant and bar predicated on a simple philosophy that the food we eat is directly connected to our overall wellness. We also believe dining should be fun and effortless, bringing together people of all dietary preferences – including vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free – to enjoy the freshest and highest quality offerings available on the market.” This restaurant did not disappoint!!! My date (a fellow vegan) and I chose to share three appetizers / starters. The second was a bowl of Maple Sweet Chili Cauliflower. The last photo lists the ingredients/toppings. This menu item had me at “Maple”. Even though I love cauliflower and sweet potatoes, I never knew they could taste this good. The chefs in the kitchen at this restaurant definitely know what they’re doing. This dish was so good; it would appeal to non-vegans. The combination of flavours was perfect. It was nutritious too. Food made from food! If I lived there, I can see myself being a regular patron there. I was very impressed that people were constantly flowing into the restaurant. I don’t know if the area is full of vegans and vegetarians, but great food always attracts people. I was so happy to see this restaurant doing very good business. Although not a 100% vegan restaurant, many of the menu items were vegan.  Our server was very helpful with her recommendations. I definitely recommend going to this restaurant if you’re in the area. 

i do love #cauliflower! i had the pleasure of meeting @mrbunbeauty at sowplated while visiting ohio. she picked a great restaurant with many creative vegan options and reasonable prices. it was great spending time with someone who shares my concern for the planet and who is very knowledgeable about the horrendous animal testing behind many allegedly vegan products. #veganisnotscary #veganfortheanimals #veganfortheplanet ps - i would have liked the sauce a little thicker but other than having to pick the #evilweed off the cauliflower it was delicious. 😋

Absolutely amazing dish! I could have had this for my entree. The sauce is outstanding. Not too spicy and just enough sweet. This would be a go to for me every time.

I liked the flavor of this dish, though it isn't my favorite appetizer they offer. On the positive side, I liked that it had different components instead of just cauliflower.

You have to try this! The sweet potatoes and cauliflower are mixed with this maple chili sauce and it’s beyond words. My steak and potatoes husband was shocked by how good it tasted. Next time we will each order one!
