Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, gochugaru, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and salt.
  • Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss until evenly coated.
  • Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Baking

  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is crispy and golden, flipping halfway through.
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.

Notes

Make-ahead: Roast the cauliflower, cool it, and store in an airtight container for up to 4 days; reheat in a hot oven to bring back crispiness. Compatible for gluten-free diets. Adjust gochugaru for less heat.
