How to Make Crispy Korean Baked Cauliflower

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder; toss until coated.
  • Spread the seasoned cauliflower on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to encourage even browning.
  • While the cauliflower bakes, whisk together gochujang, maple syrup, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and ginger in a bowl.
  • Once baked, drizzle the cauliflower with the glaze and toss to coat evenly.
  • Return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
  • Remove from the oven and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions; serve warm.
