But I can share with you the biggest hit of the week that served as both a lunch one day and a delicious snack while on-the-go other days throughout the week: Popcorn Cauliflower. (At least I remembered to snap a photo when it counted, right?)
I was browsing the internet for some fun, unique cauliflower recipes. Ethan loves cauliflower, I had picked up a head of organic cauliflower at the health food store, and I just needed something fun to do it with it. I saw this recipe for Popcorn Cauliflower on InspiredRD and it seemed like a great idea. I did make some changes to their recipe, but it was the same general premise and the outcome was the same: kids love it!
I loved that this was versatile as both a meal and a snack. It packed up well in little containers to stick in our lunchbag when we were leaving a Halloween party and Ethan's little tummy was rumbling.
To make this, I chopped up some cauliflower florets until they were small like popcorn. I preheated the oven to 425 degrees and laid out the florets on a cookie sheet topped with parchment paper. I spritzed them lightly with some organic olive oil, sprinkled them with some black pepper and tossed them with some minced garlic.
I baked the florets for 25 minutes. Once they were finished, I put the hot florets into a mixing bowl and tossed them with a handful of shredded organic cheese. I sprinkled them with some Parmesan cheese and then they were ready to be inhaled by a hungry little toddler!
I always love seeing what you are cooking Lindsay! I make a similar recipe with broccoli and add lemon at the end. My kiddos love it! xx -M
ReplyDeleteThat sounds delicious! I'll have to try that!
DeleteWow I can't wait to try this! Would make a good party food too, easy to make and kids will love.
ReplyDeleteCauliflower was one of my 'new foods in 2011'. It's definitely one of my favorites now [though I only eat it roasted, there are 80 million variations for flavor!].
