Popcorn is the classic snack to munch on when watching movies or your favorite sports team. This year, we wanted to mix things up and offer a simple recipe that will be the new favorite snack food at your next party or movie night! We swapped out popcorn with, dare I say, cauliflower! We roasted it, seasoned it, and tested it with our Kidstirs. It was was popping hit!
The secret to this recipe is not so much the cauliflower, but the sprinkle of nutritional yeast. It gives the cauliflower, a cheesy, creamy, and buttery flavor. What’s nutritional yeast? You guessed it, it’s a yeast that is used as a seasoning. It’s not the same as active yeast used in baking or brewer’s yeast, so don’t interchange them for this recipe or you’ll have a bitter mess on your hands!
As a parent, you can feel good every time you sprinkle nutritional yeast onto the cauliflower. Just as the name says, it’s packed with nutrition, adding a boost of protein, fiber, B vitamins and minerals, like iron. If you don’t have nutritional yeast on hand, substitute with Parmesan cheese for this recipe. You won’t get the added nutrition, but you’ll still get a nice cheesy flavor. You can find nutritional yeast at your local health food store in the spice aisle or with the bulk foods.
