Cauliflower Popcorn

We limit the screen time in our home but every once in a while we plan for a fun family movie time. With the dangers for children of choking on popcorn I decided to try a new route for our movie snack and it has been a huge hit with my kids and is truly packed with nutrition. Here is the recipe if you want to try it with your little ones sometime soon. 
Ingredients
  • 1 head of cauliflower
  • 1 tablespoon ground turmeric
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • 2 tablespoons avocado or grapeseed oil

Instructions
  1. Chop cauliflower into small pieces. This is a great step to have your children help with if you have a kid-friendly knife and extra time… it can take a while. We really like the Foost Knives which is what Rhett is using here.
  2. In a large bowl mix together the oil, spices, and nutritional yeast. Add the cauliflower in and toss in the oil mixture until all the cauliflower is coated.
  3. Pour all the cauliflower out onto a baking stone. Sprinkle with a little more spice if you wish and bake at 400 for 30 minutes or until cauliflower is crisp. Serve warm or cold and enjoy the show!
Note: This is also a wonderful snack for a school lunch or after school and can easily be served as part of a supper meal too!

Kids in the Kitchen Learning Notes

​While making this popcorn you can use it as a teaching moment with your children. You can talk to them about the letter P for POPCORN, the color WHITE, and how the cauliflower starts out CRUNCHY and ends up SOFT. And if your child is an apprehensive eater then they may be more interested in trying this new food after they have prepared it as opposed to just seeing it on their plate. There is never a shortage of fun learning to be had when Kids are in the Kitchen!

JADA great blog post!
I also like a lot popcorn a lot because I associate it with good times, entertainment, and health. Popcorn is a pretty healthy snack, all things considered.

I also find myself forever ordering half-sweet and half-salty popcorn at the movies, something I picked up from my beloved parents and therefore summons the nostalgic reminiscing of childhood. The first I did when I also started my own business was to make my first artwork as a popcorn :P
