Cauliflower Poppers

What you need: 

1 large head cauliflower, chopped to florets
juice of 1 lemon
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried dill
fresh black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast

What you do: 

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Whisk together the remaining ingredients.
2. Toss with the cauliflower.
3. Bake for 40 minutes, stirring once about halfway through the cooking time.
They're ready when they get nicely browned and they're tender but not mushy. I like to leave mine in until they get chewy blackened parts, but that's just me.
These are soooo good - sometimes when I want a light dinner I'll just make a batch and eat it all myself, easily as good as French fries!

Preparation Time: 
10 minutes, Cooking time: 40 minutes
Cooking Time: 
40 minutes
Servings: 
4-5

SO HOW'D IT GO?

Ok, these were definitely different.  The flavor combination was a bit too unusual to me probably since I am not the biggest dill fan or mustard fan for that matter.  I will try other spice combinations since I love cauliflower. Sorry to crash the popper party.  I did actually eat quite a bit to be honest with you.  Maybe they will grow on me when I finish eating the batch tomorrow.

These were pretty good. My head of cauliflower must have been HUGE because I could have used more sauce for them. Also 35 minutes in the oven was only enough to brown only some of them the teeniest bit. They were however tasty. Next time I will not eyeball the amount of lemon juice as I think mine were too tangy.

Mmmmmmm...  Soooo good.  I ate them all by myself in one sitting.  It's not often I get to respond to "What did you have for dinner?" with "A head of cauliflower."

Mmm... these are CRAZY good.  The only changes I made were that I used flax oil instead of olive and only baked them for about 35 minutes.  I just ate the entire recipe, lol.  Next time I think I'll use a liiittle bit less salt, but even still, these were super tasty.  I'll totally be making these again.

awesome!  i think i added more bottled lemon juice than 1 lemon might produce but they turned out great.  there was a bit leftover that i threw in the freezer, they were still delicious heated up in the microwave and i tossed a handfull of them into some veggie soup - these make a great side or appetizer!

Thanks, I will try some water in the sauce and I'll just spray the pan with pam! ;D

Has anyone tried making this without the oil? I am trying to cut down on calories and fat, and I was wondering if this would work without it? Thanks. ???

I've made these twice using only a small drizzle of olive oil and they turned out great.  You definitely don't need all the oil, but I'd recommend at least sprayed the baking pan with some Pam to make sure they don't stick.
