Cajun cauliflower poppers ready in under 30 minutes with less than 10 ingredients for the perfect plant-based game time or anytime appetizer.
Ingredients
Cauliflower Poppers
- 1 extra large or 2 medium heads of cauliflower, any color
- 1 TBSP (omit if oil-free)
Cajun Spice Mixture
- 1 TBSP smoked paprika
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1/4 tsp cayenne
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp Himalayan sea salt
For serving
- fresh chopped parsley
- almond milk or coconut yogurt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add all spice mixture to a small bowl or jar and stir with a spoon to combine. Set aside.
- Wash and dry the cauliflower and break it into bite-sized florets. Add the cauliflower florets to a large mixing bowl and drizzle it with avocado oil. Toss everything well to completely coat the cauliflower with oil, then sprinkled on the spice mixture. Toss well to combine so that the cauliflower turns a bright orange.
- Transfer the cauliflower bites onto the lined baking sheet. Bake the cauliflower for 25-30 minutes, or until they’re fork tender and golden brown on the edges. You want the cauliflower to be fork tender but still have some bite to it.
- Serve your Cajun Cauliflower Poppers hot with fresh minced parsley. Dip in your favorite almond milk or coconut milk yogurt.
