Cauliflower Popcorn for Movie Night – YUM!

Cauliflower popcorn is insanely addictive and unexpected. With the addition of garlic, it takes the delicious factor over the top. Cauliflower has been my favorite vegetable for a long time. I love riced cauliflower and am super-fond of cauliflower steaks. This recipe for cauliflower popcorn took me totally by surprise — it is NOT popcorn, yet it is yummy. For those of us who cannot have corn of any kind, this recipes functions as a great different substitute.

Cauliflower Popcorn doesn’t really smell like traditional popcorn. Roasting vegetables is the true secret in increasing the flavor and yum factor. Keep the pieces small. Roast them to a deep golden brown. They are best as caramelized bites of awesome. Adding cayenne ramps up the fire level and brings out a whole new flavor perspective. A fantastic way to satisfy your snack needs on movie night.
