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
- Preheat oven to 450-degrees.
- Take sliced up florets, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, black pepper and garlic powder.
- 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.
- Spray them with a bit of the pan spray and season with chipotle powder and squirt some lime juice on the cut up florets.
- Taste for seasoning and adjust with more salt, garlic powder or chipotle as you see fit.
- 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.
