With just four ingredients, these savory pops are quick to prepare, low in carbs, and packed with nutrients. They’re a perfect option for anyone looking for a wholesome snack with minimal prep.
Ingredients:
Cauliflower (cut into bite-sized florets)
Olive oil
Salt and pepper (or a seasoning of choice)
Optional: dipping sauces (e.g., ranch, marinara, or hummus)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the cauliflower:
Cut the cauliflower into small, bite-sized florets, ensuring they’re all relatively the same size for even cooking.
2. Season:
Toss the florets with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. You can add other spices or herbs based on your taste (e.g., garlic powder, paprika, or chili flakes).
3. Bake:
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the cauliflower florets in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Bake for about 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
4. Serve:
Let them cool slightly before serving with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes:
Crispiness:
For extra crispiness, you can broil the cauliflower pops for 1–2 minutes at the end of baking.
Spice options:
Feel free to experiment with different spices like cumin, smoked paprika, or even a sprinkle of parmesan before baking.
Dips:
Serve with a variety of dips for extra flavor.
