Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Rinse and dry the cauliflower florets, ensuring they are uniform in size.
3. Toss the florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper until well-coated. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
4. Roast the cauliflower for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown and crispy.
5. While roasting, mix gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger in a small bowl until smooth. Optionally, simmer for 3-5 minutes to thicken.
6. Once the cauliflower is roasted, toss it with the sauce until well-coated. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes if caramelizing.
7. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and green onions before serving.
