SNACK
Cauliflower “Popcorn” Crisp on the outside, creamy on the inside, and tasty all over—this cauliflower can be served as either a side dish or a substantial snack. It’s best eaten when hot, so if you are cooking for just one or two people, use only half the ingredients.
HANDS-ON TIME: 10 MINUTES TOTAL TIME: 40 MINUTES MAKES: 4 SERVINGS
INGREDIENTS 1 head cauliflower 1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil ½ teaspoon kosher salt INSTRUCTIONS 1. Turn on the oven and set the heat to 425 degrees. 2. Cut the core out of the cauliflower, then pull apart the florets into pieces about the size of popped corn or slightly larger. 3. Put the cauliflower on a large rimmed baking sheet, add the oil and salt, and toss to mix well. Spread out the cauliflower in a single layer. 4. Put the baking sheet in the oven and roast until the cauliflower is golden brown, about 30 minutes, tossing every 10 minutes to ensure even cooking. Serve right away.
