Instructions
Creating Korean Baked Cauliflower is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Cauliflower: In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with vegetable oil, tossing to coat evenly.
3. Make the Sauce: In a separate bowl, mix together the gochujang, soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), minced garlic, minced ginger, and sesame oil until well combined.
4. Coat the Cauliflower: Pour the sauce over the cauliflower and toss until every piece is thoroughly coated.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated cauliflower florets evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and lightly browned.
7. Add Sesame Seeds: In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle sesame seeds over the cauliflower for added flavor and crunch.
8. Garnish: Once baked, remove from the oven and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
