Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Rinse the cauliflower and remove the leaves and stem. Cut it into thick slices or florets, depending on your preference.
In a small bowl, combine 40 ml of olive oil, lemon juice, chopped parsley, chopped basil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the herb oil.
Brush the cauliflower slices with the remaining 20 ml of olive oil, making sure they are coated evenly.
Place the cauliflower on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have charred grill marks.
Once cooked, remove the cauliflower from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Drizzle the prepared herb oil over the grilled cauliflower evenly.
Serve hot as a side dish or main course, and enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors.
