Jerk Cauliflower Poppers

During the lockdown I stumbled upon Tik Toc and have learned so much. There are many recipes on this social media platform. I found this one and decided to try it. It is so easy and delicious and I simply reduced the oil to keep it more healthy.

My friend showed me how to make these tostadas a few years back and I always make them when lettuce is plentiful. Tostadas are quick, easy, and cheap. Especially if you have lettuce growing in your garden. Actually, you don’t need a garden to grow some lettuce — all you need is a pot, soil, and seeds. Growing lettuce indoors in a cooler environment might be a better choice this time of year because of the excessive heat. Lettuce prefers cool weather but make sure they get plenty of sun.
