Ghoul-ten-Free Korean BBQ Cauliflower Bites with Orange Sesame
Oven-crisp cauliflower (gluten-free) tossed in a sticky gochujang BBQ glaze meets a bright citrus-sesame salad from the Fresh Express® Orange Sesame Chopped Kit™ – big flavor, no deep fryer.
Ingredients
- 1 (11.5-ounce) package Fresh Express® Orange Sesame Chopped Kit™
- 1 large head cauliflower, cut into 1½-inch florets
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- ½ cup cornstarch
- ¾ cup gluten-free panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 tbsp gluten-free gochujang
- 2 tbsp gluten-free tamari (instead of soy sauce)
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- Salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Heat the oven: Preheat to 425°F. Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment and lightly oil it.
- Season cornstarch with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Dredge cauliflower florets in cornstarch, dip in egg, then coat in gluten-free panko. Arrange on the pan and drizzle with the vegetable oil.
- Bake 10 minutes, flip, then bake 10 minutes more, until golden and crunchy at the edges. (Air fryer: 400°F for 12–15 minutes, shaking halfway.)
- While the cauliflower bakes, whisk gluten-free gochujang, gluten-free tamari, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat 2–3 minutes until glossy.
- Transfer hot cauliflower to a large bowl, pour over the warm glaze, and toss to coat evenly.
- Add the greens from the Fresh Express® Orange Sesame Chopped Kit to a large bowl, drizzle with the dressing from the kit, and toss to lightly coat. Sprinkle with the crunchy toppings.
- Plate the Korean BBQ cauliflower bites with the prepared salad on the side. Enjoy!
