Blasted Cauliflower

By cfaide

Vegetables are often thought of as boring, bland, or tasteless. This is far from the truth! Vegetables can offer a great source of variety. Cauliflower is an extremely versatile vegetable and this is just another example of how it can be used. I will give you this warning: THEY ARE ADDICTIVE!

Ingredients

• 1 head of cauliflower
• 1/8 cup of olive oil
• 1/2 tsp granulated garlic + 1/4 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 cup of nutritional yeast (not to be confused with brewer’s yeast – this is a highly nutritious condiment)
• Optional (these are great spicy): 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Wash and clean the cauliflower. Cut off and discard the stem. Cut the cauliflower florets into small pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, salt and nutritional yeast. Add the cauliflower pieces and thoroughly coat each piece.
Place cauliflower pieces onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for one hour turning a few times during cooking. You will want them to look browned.
