Roasted Cauliflower "Popcorn"
Something special happens when you roast cauliflower - it almost tastes like popcorn! This is my absolute favorite way to prepare cauliflower and one of my favorite veggie recipes of all time!
Ingredients
- 1 large head of cauliflower about two pounds, cut into large chunks
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4-1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4-1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/8 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cut the cauliflower into large chunks.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper (this makes clean-up easier!) Place the cauliflower on the baking sheet and toss it with olive oil, salt, chili powder, garlic powder, or any seasonings of your choice.
- Cover tightly with foil and bake for 15 minutes. This will prevent the cauliflower from burning during the roasting process.
- Remove the cauliflower from the oven and remove the foil. Place the cauliflower back in the oven, this time uncovered, and continue roasting for 35-40 minutes, or until the cauliflower starts to turn brown.
- Remove from the oven, and adjust seasonings according to taste- you may need a little more salt. Enjoy!
