Directions
01
For the cauliflower bites:
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and line your baking sheet with parchment paper

Set aside
04
Add bread crumbs to a separate bowl and set aside
05
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter (shaking off any excess) and then toss into the bread crumbs
06
Lay each cauliflower side by side on the baking sheet (about an inch apart)
07
Repeat until all cauliflower florets are coated
08
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown

For extra crispiness, put your oven on the "broil" setting and bake for another 5-10 minutes

For the gochujang sauce:
Place all ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and whisk together until it begins to boil
11
Reduce heat to medium-low and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or so, stirring occasionally

Once thickened enough to your desired consistency, remove from heat and let cool
13
Once cauliflower florets are crisp, remove them from oven and toss them in the sauce until fully coated

To serve, add to a salad, tacos, pizza, with quinoa or rice, or by themselves with vegan ranch dipping sauce
