Gochujang Roasted Cauliflower

by MJ

If you want to try something different with cauliflower, try this version of Gochujang Roasted Cauliflower. It’s spicy, sweet and salty and adds a nice kick to cauliflower to serve as a side or appetizer.

For a short cut, you can use the pre cut cauliflower florets or cut your cauliflower in advance to save time. 

I used equal parts gochujang (Korean chili paste) soy sauce,  and honey for the sauce but you can adjust the amounts based on your preference or the size of the cauliflower.
