Cauliflower Poppers

What You Need:

1 head of cauliflower

1 C seasoned bread crumbs

3 TBSP olive oil

2 garlic cloves, minced fine

¼ tsp. chili powder

How to Make It:

Wash and trim the cauliflower.

Cut the cauliflower into bite size florets.

Place 2 TBSP olive oil into a large mixing bowl.

Add the cauliflower pieces into the oil and toss to cover well.

Lay the pieces on a baking sheet in a single layer.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Roast the cauliflower for 15 minutes.

Place the bread crumbs into the bowl that contained the olive oil.

If there is not enough oil to coat the crumbs add 1 TBSP.

Add the garlic and chili powder and toss.

Remove the cauliflower from the oven and turn each piece.

The cauliflower should be turning a light brown.

Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over the top of the cauliflower.

Return to the oven and continue roasting another 10 minutes.

The bread crumbs will be slightly toasted and the cauliflower tender when done.

Remove and serve immediately.

Have some fun with these poppers. Find different types of seasoning to make them taste a little different each time. Also be sure to serve them as soon as they come out of the oven. If they set too long they become mushy and not very tasty.
