Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the green leaves from the cauliflower and trim the stem, leaving the core intact.
Slice the cauliflower into 1-inch thick 'steaks'. You should get about 3-4 slices from one head, with smaller florets falling off (which can also be grilled).
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped parsley, thyme, salt, and black pepper to make the herb oil.
Brush both sides of the cauliflower steaks generously with the herb oil mixture.
Once the grill is hot, carefully place the cauliflower steaks on the grill.
Grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the cauliflower is tender and has nice grill marks.
Remove the cauliflower from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Drizzle with any remaining herb oil before serving for added flavor.
Serve warm as a side dish or a delicious vegetarian main course.
