Paleo Snack Cauliflower Popcorn

Cauliflower Popcorn
Corn is a Paleo no-no, so replace the movie favorite with a more nutritious cauliflower version that has a similar buttery taste and satisfying crunch.

1 head cauliflower or 1 head equal amount of pre-cut commercially prepped cauliflower
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt, to taste

Directions:

1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2
Trim the head of cauliflower, discarding the core and thick stems; cut florets into pieces about the size of ping-pong balls.
3
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil and salt, whisk, then add the cauliflower pieces and toss thoroughly.
Line a baking sheet with parchment for easy cleanup (you can skip that, if you don't have any) then spread the cauliflower pieces on the sheet and roast for 1 hour, turning 3 or 4 times, until most of each piece has turned golden brown.


5(The browner the cauliflower pieces turn, the more caramelization occurs and the sweeter they'll taste).
6
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Where I got it: I originally heard about this recipe at Gail's Recipe Swap, where Josh posted it and many folks tried and loved it.

  1. Sounds great! Although popcorn fits with a vegan diet, and butter doesn't.

  2. I hear you, Bonnie, only I'm the opposite, I avoid popcorn but eat butter. Diets are crazy, lol.
