Cheezy Cauli Popcorn

Ingredients:

  • 1 head cauliflower, broken into small florets
  • 6 tablespoons nutritional yeast (I use Dr. Fuhrman’s to avoid the synthetic folic acid found in most brands)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

Start by preheating the oven to 450F and lightly greasing a baking tray with coconut oil or avocado oil.

In a large bowl, add all ingredients and toss to coat cauliflower florets in seasonings.

Transfer the cauliflower to the prepared baking sheet, and spread it around evenly.

Bake for 50-60 minutes or until very crispy.

Let cool and tuck on in! Warning— it’s addictive!
