Cauliflower Popcorn

My Australian friend Angela found this delicious appetizer at Coles, the Aussie supermarket chain. :-) Enjoy!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cauliflower - leaves removed - cut into small florets
  • 1 free-range egg
  • 2 tbs chickpea flour (original recipe called for rice flour)
  • 2 tsp sesame seeds
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground paprika
  • 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
  • Thyme sprigs - to serve
  • Tzatziki - make your own here: Tzatziki - Greek Yogurt & Cucumber Sauce
  • Lemon wedges - to serve

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 200°C (395°F). Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Place the cauliflower in a large bowl. Add the egg white and toss to evenly coat. Combine flour, sesame seeds, coriander, cumin, paprika and turmeric in a small bowl. Sprinkle flour mixture over cauliflower mixture and toss to coat. Season.

Arrange the cauliflower mixture on the lined tray in a single layer. Bake, turning occasionally, for 30 mins or until the cauliflower is crisp. Transfer to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with the thyme sprigs. Serve immediately with the tzatziki or yogurt and lemon wedges.

Blessed be… and happy cooking!
