Sticky, glossy, and packed with flavor, this glaze gets its backbone from real honey, plenty of fresh garlic, and a splash of rice vinegar for brightness. A touch of toasted sesame oil rounds things out with warmth, while a quick cornstarch slurry brings the whole thing together into a glaze that clings beautifully to whatever you're cooking. Red pepper flakes are optional if you want a little heat to balance the sweetness. It comes together fast in one small saucepan, with just a few minutes of simmering and whisking before it's thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. This one is a solid pick for a Paleo kitchen, ready to drizzle over roasted vegetables, grilled chicken, or seared salmon. Keep it on hand for busy weeknights when you want big flavor without much effort.

Whisk together the honey, soy sauce, garlic, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small saucepan. Add the red pepper flakes, if using.
Set the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is fragrant and the liquid is just beginning to bubble at the edges, about 3–4 minutes. Watch closely — honey scorches quickly if the heat is too high.
