CAULIFLOWER POPCORN - ROASTED CAULIFLOWER



Cauliflower Popcorn - Roasted Cauliflower image

This is based on the recipe by Bob Blumer from the "Surreal Gourmet Bites" cookbook. This simple caramelization method transforms this much maligned veggie into a knock-your-socks-off side dish or sweet snack that you won't be able to get enough of!

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

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

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Trim the head of cauliflower, discarding the core and thick stems; cut florets into pieces about the size of ping-pong balls.
  • 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.
  • (The browner the cauliflower pieces turn, the more caramelization occurs and the sweeter they'll taste).
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

CAULIFLOWER POPCORN



Cauliflower Popcorn image

Small florets of cauliflower look a lot like popcorn, and when coated with classic popcorn seasonings, they can be just as snackable. Roast pieces the size of popped kernels until deeply tender and frizzled, shower with panko bread crumbs seasoned with nutritional yeast, then return to the oven to toast. The panko mimics the airy crispness of popcorn, while nutritional yeast adds a cheesy, salty flavor. Adjust seasonings based on what you like: Add wet ingredients, like hot sauce or soy sauce, to the cauliflower before roasting, and dry ingredients, like Old Bay, furikake or Tajín, when you add the panko.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds cauliflower, cut into ½- to 1-inch pieces and florets
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil or melted ghee
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes or pinch of ground cayenne
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees. On a sheet pan, toss the cauliflower with ⅓ cup olive oil, 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast and the red-pepper flakes. Season generously with salt and pepper, then toss well to evenly distribute. Spread in an even layer and roast for 20 minutes, until the cauliflower is crisp-tender and starting to brown at the edges.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the panko, remaining 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast and remaining tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, and stir with a fork until evenly combined.
  • When the 20 minutes are up, stir the cauliflower, spread it into an even layer and sprinkle with the panko mixture. Roast until the panko is toasted, 10 to 12 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower: Look for a head of cauliflower that is compact and heavy for its size. Avoid heads with brown spots or blemishes.
  • Cut the cauliflower into small florets: This will help them roast evenly and get crispy.
  • Toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper: This will help them brown and caramelize in the oven.
  • Roast the cauliflower florets at a high temperature: This will help them get crispy and golden brown.
  • Shake the roasting pan halfway through cooking: This will help ensure that the cauliflower florets roast evenly.
  • Serve the roasted cauliflower popcorn immediately: It's best enjoyed when it's hot and crispy.
  • Sprinkle with chile-lime seasoning: This will give the cauliflower popcorn a delicious spicy and tangy flavor.

Conclusion:

Roasted cauliflower popcorn is a healthy and delicious snack or side dish that is easy to make. It's a great way to enjoy cauliflower, and it's also a good source of vitamins and minerals. The chile-lime seasoning adds a delicious spicy and tangy flavor to the cauliflower popcorn, making it a perfect snack for any occasion.
