Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large cauliflower head
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 whole zest of lemon
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Trim the green leaves from the cauliflower and cut the stem so the base of the cauliflower is flat. Cut the cauliflower vertically through the core into 3/4-inch thick 'steaks'. You should be able to get 2 to 3 sizable steaks from one cauliflower head.
Brush both sides of the cauliflower steaks with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and fresh thyme. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, thyme, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and lemon zest to create the vinaigrette.
Place the cauliflower steaks on the preheated grill, closing the lid. Grill for 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until nicely charred and tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the cauliflower steaks from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Drizzle the lemon herb vinaigrette over the grilled cauliflower steaks.
Serve immediately while warm. Enjoy your delicious low-carb grilled cauliflower steaks with lemon herb vinaigrette!
