Recipe Wednesday – Cauliflower Poppers

For some unexplainable reason I have always like cauliflower.  However, no one else even in my extended family even remotely agrees with this like.  But I saw on Pinterest a pin for Cauliflower Poppers and it looked like they were dipping them in ketchup, so I thought that this might be a sneaky way to get Charlotte to eat her veggies.
Delighted Momma’s recipe (which I followed) calls for 1 teaspoon pepper and two heads of cauliflower.  I ended up only making them with one head of cauliflower but didn’t think to cut the pepper.  This resulted in very spicy poppers.  Charlotte tried one but said they were too spicy and I didn’t blame her, they were almost too spicy for me!  But aside from the spice they tasted great!  I’ll definitely be making these as a more common side dish in our family but will probably limit the pepper by quite a bit.

    Jen- I make this with Broccoli too…only I use a little garlic salt and no pepper (I’m not a pepper fan). It is fantastic.
    For the broccoli- take out after roasted and sprinkle with a little lemon juice and parm. cheese (the kind in the can) and put back in for 3-4 min.
    Shelby now asks for broccoli and before she HATED it!
