Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the leaves and trim the stem of the cauliflower while keeping the core intact. Cut the cauliflower head into two 1-inch thick steaks.
In a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of olive oil with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Brush both sides of the cauliflower steaks generously with the seasoned olive oil mixture.
Place the cauliflower steaks on the preheated grill and cook for about 7-8 minutes on each side, until they char slightly and become tender inside.
While the cauliflower is grilling, prepare the lemon herb vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, chopped parsley, thyme, and red pepper flakes.
Once the cauliflower steaks are done, transfer them to a serving plate.
Drizzle the lemon herb vinaigrette over the grilled cauliflower steaks.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
