Cauliflower French Fries

Cauliflower French Fries

By Jeff and Leah

I made these yummy "french fries" the other day with Anna Lisa's delicious Veggie Pita and Jeff and I have never looked back!

Once again we must give credit where credit is due.....
Delighted Momma is a fabulous place and I couldn't get off the computer!

When I think of a crunchy salty snack... chips, french fries and carb loaded goodies (everything I have been craving this pregnancy but resisting) come to mind. I recently heard about cauliflower poppers and I knew I had to try them.

I have said before that I am not a big fan of raw cauliflower (yucky) but after I made skinny mashed potatoes using cauliflower I knew it was my new favorite lo-carb substitute.

What you will need:

• 2 heads of cauliflower
  
• 1/4 cup of olive oil
• 1 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon of pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2. Wash and clean the cauliflower. Cut off and discard the stem. Cut the cauliflower up into small pieces.
   
3. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, salt and pepper. Add the cauliflower pieces and thoroughly coat each piece.
4. Place cauliflower pieces onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for one hour and turn 3 times during cooking until each piece has a nice brown coloring. The browner they are the better.
   
5. Remove from oven and enjoy!

Make them! Dip them, OR NOT!  They are that good!
