Cauliflower Popcorn Recipes

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!

• Combine 2 tablespoons butter and the olive oil in a large skillet and heat on medium high until butter is foaming. Add blanched cauliflower and season with salt, pepper and sugar. Cook without stirring for the first 3-5 minutes to allow cauliflower to caramelize on one side, then stir to turn cauliflower and continue cooking until uniformly caramelized, another 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl.
• Pour Chardonnay into pan, turn heat to high and bring to a boil. Boil, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pan with a wooden spoon until liquid is reduced by half and slightly thickened.

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.
