Gochujang Cauliflower Bites

Method

  1. 1

    Whisk flour, cornstarch, and water until smooth thin batter.

  2. 2

    Dip cauliflower florets into batter, shake off excess.

  3. 3

    Air fry at 400°F for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy.

  4. 4

    Warm gochujang, honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar together. Toss with crispy florets.

Pro tip. For extra crunch: air fry 12 min, rest 5 min, then air fry 6 more minutes before glazing.

Why the air fryer wins here

  • Ready in 22 minutes. The same dish takes about 35 in a conventional oven, plus preheating.
  • Fast-moving hot air browns the outside before the inside dries out, so you get color without babysitting.
  • Cleanup is a basket, not a sheet pan and a splattered stovetop.

Storing and reheating

Refrigerate perishable leftovers within 2 hours, or within 1 hour above 90°F. Reheat leftovers to 165°F (74°C) throughout, measured with a food thermometer. USDA leftover safety guidance.

Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes rather than the microwave so the outside crisps back up. See the reheat guide for exact times by food.
