- ¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- ⅓ cup honey
- ½ cup low sodium soy sauce
- 4 to 6 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 tablespoon sesame seed oil
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- ½ teaspoon hot sauce

Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400˚F.
- Step 2: Lightly grease a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray; set aside.
- Step 3: In a shallow plate combine the flour, oregano, salt, and pepper; mix to combine.

- Step 8: Garnish with sesame seeds and serve.
Notes
Use cornstarch instead of flour for a gluten-free version. Maple syrup is a great alternative to honey. For a gluten-free dish, try tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
