Serves 4
Ingredients
100g (1 cup) almond meal
750ml (3 cups) coconut cream
125g (1 cup) arrowroot or tapioca flour
1 head cauliflower, cut into bite sized florets
chilli powder, 2 teaspoons
garlic powder, 1 teaspoon
smoked paprika, 2 teaspoons
ground cumin, 2 teaspoons
ground turmeric, 2 teaspoons
Macadamia oil spray for coating and drizzling
sea salt and pepper to season
Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
Mix the almond meal, chilli powder, garlic powder, paprika, cumin and turmeric in a large bowl. Then, in a separate large bowl, mix the coconut cream and arrowroot or tapioca flour to make a thick batter.
Dip a cauliflower floret briefly in the coconut cream batter to coat evenly, then toss it in the almond meal mixture. Once coated, transfer to a prepared tray and repeat with the rest of the florets.
When all the florets are ready give them a spray with macadamia oil. Bake for 25–30 minutes, turning halfway and drizzling or re-spraying with oil if you wish, until golden brown and crisp.
Once crisp on all sides, remove the cauliflower popcorn from the oven and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve alongside my chilli lime aioli or your favourite dipping sauce. 💛
