Korean Fried Cauliflower Bites

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a bowl, whisk the cornstarch, water, vegetable oil, and salt into a smooth, thin batter.

Step 3

Dip the cauliflower florets into the batter, letting excess drip off, and arrange them in a single layer on the baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are golden and crisp.

Step 5

While the cauliflower bakes, whisk together the gochujang, minced garlic, and honey in a small saucepan and warm over low heat for 2-3 minutes until glossy.

Step 6

Toss the baked cauliflower in the warm sauce until evenly coated.

Step 7

Return the coated cauliflower to the oven for 5 minutes to set the glaze, then serve hot.
