Crispy baked cauliflower bites tossed in a spicy-sweet Korean gochujang glaze — a bold, plant-based twist on Korean comfort food.
1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup cornstarch
¾ cup plant milk or water
Pinch of salt
Cooking spray or oil
Glaze:
2 tbsp gochujang
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
1 tsp sesame oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
Garnish:
Sesame seeds
Sliced green onions
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
Whisk flour, cornstarch, milk, and salt into a smooth batter.
Coat cauliflower in batter, shake off excess, and spread on tray.
Bake 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway.
While baking, simmer sauce ingredients in a small pan until thickened.
Toss baked cauliflower in glaze. Return to oven for 5–7 minutes (optional).
Garnish and serve immediately.
Use gluten-free flour and tamari for a GF version.
Adjust spice by reducing or increasing gochujang.
Best served fresh for crisp texture.
