Cauliflower Popcorn

Ingredients:

1 Head Cauliflower
4 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 Teaspoon Sea Salt

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 425F.
  • Cut out and discard cauliflower core and thick stems. Trim remaining cauliflower into florets the size of golf balls.
  • In a large bowl, add cauliflower, olive oil, and salt. Toss thoroughly.
  • Spread cauliflower on a baking sheet (Lined with parchment paper, if available, for easy cleanup). 
  • Roast for 1 hour, or until much of each floret has become golden brown. (That's the caramelization process converting the dormant natural sugars into sweetness. The browner the florets, the sweeter they will taste.) 
  • Turn 3 or 4 times during roasting.
  • Use crumpled up aluminum foil or paper towels to create a false bottom in your popcorn container, fill it with cauliflower, and serve immediately.
