Ingredients & Substitutions
Miso paste is a fantastic source of umami and can really elevate the flavor of your dishes. If you're not a fan of miso, feel free to experiment with tahini or sunflower seed vegan butter for a different twist! Just make sure to check that your miso is vegan-friendly, as some brands add non-vegan ingredients.
Tips & Notes
- •I love making a double batch because they make fantastic leftovers. Just pop them in a glass container in the fridge and reheat in the oven for a few minutes.
- •Feel free to switch up the spices! Sometimes I add a bit of smoked paprika for a smoky flavor, which is delightful.
Recipe Variations
- •If you're feeling adventurous, toss in some chopped broccoli or Brussels sprouts with the cauliflower for a mix of textures and flavors.
- •You can also switch up the sweetener—agave syrup works just as well if you want to keep it a bit lighter.
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to bring back that crispy goodness!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen cauliflower?
Absolutely! Just make sure to thaw and drain it well before coating it in the miso mix. Frozen cauliflower might not get as crispy, but it’ll still taste great.
What can I serve these with?
These bites are amazing on their own, but they also pair beautifully with a dipping sauce like a simple soy sauce or a spicy mayo made with vegan mayo and sriracha!
