Miso Maple Cauliflower Bites - Vegan recipe hero image

Every time I make these Miso Maple Cauliflower Bites, I’m reminded of those cozy nights spent with friends, sharing stories and laughter.

It’s such a simple yet magical dish that brings everyone together.

My tip?

Make extra because they disappear fast!

Plus, they’re a great way to sneak in some veggies while keeping things fun and delicious.

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • ✓No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • ✓Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • ✓Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

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!

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high heat is perfect for getting those cauliflower bites crispy.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the miso paste, maple syrup, olive oil, garlic powder, and ground ginger. Whisk until smooth.

  3. 3

    Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss them well in the miso mixture until every piece is nicely coated.

  4. 4

    Spread the coated cauliflower on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they’re in a single layer for even roasting.

  5. 5

    Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they're golden and crispy.

  6. 6

    Once done, remove from the oven and sprinkle with black sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.

  7. 7

    Enjoy these bites hot, either as a snack, appetizer, or even a side dish!
