Cauliflower popcorn

Cauliflower popcorn

Print Recipe
We all have that one veggie we get weirdly creative with—mine is cauliflower. I’ve riced it, mashed it, turned it into “steak,” and yes… now I’ve popped it. Well, sort of.
Enter: Cauliflower Popcorn. It’s crispy, savory, ridiculously snackable, and just healthy enough to eat the whole batch without guilt. It’s not trying to be popcorn—it’s doing its own thing and totally pulling it off.
Whether you're looking for a lighter snack, a fun way to eat more veggies, or just something to dip into your favorite sauce, this recipe’s got you. Four ingredients, one tray, endless flavor potential.
