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!
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
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.
Do you buy this yeast anywhere special?
Or is it in the same area as the yeast used for bread, etc.?
Nutritional yeast is completely different than brewer’s yeast for baking. You can find it in health food stores. Bragg’s makes one.
