Popcorn Cauliflower
Crunchy baked pieces of cauliflower make a fun snack, side dish, or mini meal. This is a healthier version of popcorn chicken that still tastes delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 small head cauliflower, cut into bite sized pieces
- 2 cups flavored pretzel pieces, I used honey mustard flavor
- 2 large eggs, whisked
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pulse pretzels in food processor until they become small crumbs.
- Pour about 1/3 of the pretzel crumbs into a Ziploc bag. Dip and coat a few cauliflower pieces in egg. Tap off excess egg (this will prevent your pretzel coating from getting too wet; if it gets too wet it will be harder for it to stick to cauliflower) and then place cauliflower pieces into ziploc bag with the pretzel crumbs. Seal bag and shake a few times until cauliflower pieces are completely coated in pretzel. Place coated pieces onto baking sheet. Repeat with remaining cauliflower, adding more pretzel coating to the bag when needed.
- Bake cauliflower for about 15 minutes, until outer coating is crunchy and cauliflower is cooked. Serve warm with dipping sauces of your choice.
