Cauliflower Popcorn

Cauliflower Popcorn

This Cauliflower Popcorn is simple to make and will satisfy your popcorn cravings. Transform cauliflower into low carb popcorn with just a few ingredients! 

I’ve always wanted to try to make this recipe when I started seeing it pop up on other blogs. I researched dozens of cauliflower popcorn recipes to come up with my own. 

Basically, you cut the cauliflower into tiny pieces, put oil on them and bake. 

I really enjoyed the results of my experiment. This recipe does kinda taste like popcorn but… you must eat it warm because if you eat it cold, it tastes soggy and nothing like popcorn.

Will this make a permanent place in my heart? Sadly no. 

Kale chips are still holding the number one spot for snacks with chocolate bark coming in second. 

I would encourage you to try this as something beyond a snack like using it also as a side dish for dinner.

I have more gluten free snack ideas if you need them.

How to Make Cauliflower Popcorn

Can I use frozen cauliflower to make cauliflower popcorn?

I would suggest you do NOT use frozen cauliflower because the recipe will be soggier. If you need a more convenient solution buy prechopped cauliflower that is still fresh.

Can I use regular popcorn seasoning to make cauliflower popcorn?

Yes, of course! Skip the onion powder and chives I suggested and use your favorite seasoning like cheddar, sour cream and onion, etc. Make sure you sprinkle it on the cauliflower popcorn after it has finished roasting.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes, just reheat it in the oven! The cauliflower popcorn might not be as crispy as the first time but you could make a huge batch and store it in the fridge and reheat what you want to eat.
