Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cauliflower florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- 0.25 cup chopped cilantro
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they resemble corn kernels. Be careful not to over-process.
In a large bowl, toss the processed cauliflower 'corn' with olive oil, chipotle chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Once the skillet is hot, add the seasoned cauliflower. Cook for about 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender and slightly browned.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving bowl.
Top the low-carb chipotle corn with crumbled feta cheese and chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
