Cauliflower Popcorn

Cauliflower popcorn (from a newspaper)

Who woulda thunk that cauliflower could actually become addictive?
With this
simple high-temperature roasting process known as caramelization, your
basic
off-the-rack cauliflower is miraculously transformed into sweet,
lip-smackin'
candy bombs you and your guests won't be able to get enough of.

1 head cauliflower
4 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp salt

1. Preheat oven to 425F, Cut out and discard cauliflower core and
thick stems.
Trim remaining cauliflower into florets the size of golf balls. In a large
bowl, add cauliflower, olive oil and salt. Toss thoroughly.

2. Spread cauliflower on a baking sheet. Roast for 1 hour or until
most of each
floret has become golden brown. Turn 3 or 4 times during roasting. Serve
immediately. Serves 6 to 8.

I tried this out. Didn't look like popcorn, but caramelized cauliflower does taste good. It didn't look much different from a crispy cauliflower sabji sans the spices.
