Chipotle Lime Oven Roasted Cauliflower Popcorn

Description

The ultimate movie snack just got healthy! My chili lime oven roasted cauliflower popcorn looks as cute as the original but tastes a heck of a lot better! With subtle citrus notes and a spicy kick this faux popcorn is the perfect couch munch food. Massive flavor+zero guilt=heaven.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head of cauliflower (cut up into small bite size florets)
  • 1 tablespoon of garlic powder
  • 1 lime
  • 2 tsp chipotle powder (or more depending on how smoky and spicy you want it)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • spray oil (note 1)
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450-degrees.
  2. Take sliced up florets, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, black pepper and garlic powder.
  3. Bake for 5 minutes then shake the pan making sure they are browning on each side. Repeat 2 more times until perfectly brown and crispy.
  4. Spray them with a bit of the pan spray and season with chipotle powder and squirt some lime juice on the cut up florets.
  5. Taste for seasoning and adjust with more salt, garlic powder or chipotle as you see fit.
  6. Eat!

Notes

Note 1: Once the popcorn comes out of the oven, spray it with the pan spray and THEN season. This will ensure that the seasoning actually adheres to the popcorn.
