Cauliflower Popcorn

This simple snack satisfies popcorn cravings while packing antioxidants.

Cauliflower, a cruciferous vegetable, is rich in vitamins and minerals. They are also packed with phytonutrients (plant-based compounds) that help to lower inflammation, reducing your risk for such things as cancer, cardiovascular disease, and joint pain.

Cruciferous vegetables also include broccoli, kale, cabbage, brussels sprouts, collard greens, bok choy, and similar leafy vegetables.

This easy snack only uses one pan and it can be easily modified to the grill during summer months!
