Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh basil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Remove any leaves and trim the stem of the cauliflower head. Place the cauliflower upright on a cutting board and carefully slice it into four thick steaks, approximately 1-inch thick each.
In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Brush both sides of the cauliflower steaks with the seasoned oil.
Place the cauliflower steaks on the grill. Cook for about 7-8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and tender, with nice grill marks.
While the cauliflower steaks are grilling, prepare the vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, chopped parsley, chopped basil, Dijon mustard, and honey until well combined.
Once the cauliflower steaks are done, remove them from the grill and place them on a serving platter.
Drizzle the lemon herb vinaigrette over the grilled cauliflower steaks just before serving.
Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired and serve warm.
