Introduction

Yummy! Cauliflower is not a bad substitute for French Fries. I took this from http://http://www.snack-girl.com/. Great website for Snacks and information about pre-packaged snacks. Yummy!

Ingredients

    Ingredients:
    1 head of cauliflower
    3 tablespoons olive oil
    Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Clean the cauliflower of any leaves and trim the tough part of the bottom stem so that you get a flat surface. Stand the cauliflower upright on a cutting board, and with a large, heavy knife, create 1/2 inch slices. The outer bits will fall off in very small pieces (this is a very good thing, you will see later), the inner pieces will be like cauliflower latticework.

Line a large baking sheet with tinfoil. Toss the cauliflower with the olive oil, salt and pepper, and place on the baking sheet. If you have more cauliflower than will fit in a flat layer on the pan, reserve the extra for later. You don’t want it to get too crowded or it won’t brown properly.

Place the cauliflower in the oven, checking in after 15-20 mins. When it starts looking golden, turn with a spatula and return to the oven for another 10 mins or so.

Total cooking time is approximately 35-40 minutes, but it depends on how crispy you like your cauliflower. I like mine with a little char.
