Here’s a delicious way to add vegetables to any snack or meal. Cauliflower popcorn is a fun finger food that you can season exactly as you like. Add your favorite spices in whichever combinations you like. Choose parmesan cheese or skip the cheese if you prefer. 

Unlike popcorn shrimp or fried cauliflower, this recipe doesn’t involve high-carb breading or excess fats from frying. Instead, just toss cauliflower florets in spices and bake them. Add cheese at the end, and enjoy!

Making this recipe can be a kid-friendly activity. To speed it up, use store-bought cauliflower florets, Otherwise, you can cut up the head of cauliflower yourself before getting children involved. Everyone can enjoy this as a snack instead of buttered popcorn to reduce carbs and saturated fat. It can also be a great way to get more vegetables when you serve it as a side dish.
