Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head large cauliflower
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 2 cloves garlic
Instructions
Remove the leaves and trim the stem of the cauliflower, but make sure to leave the core intact.
Slice the cauliflower into 3/4 to 1-inch thick "steaks" starting from the center of the head.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Brush both sides of each cauliflower steak with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Place the cauliflower steaks on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes on each side, or until charred and tender. Turn carefully to avoid breaking.
Meanwhile, prepare the lemon herb vinaigrette by finely chopping the parsley and rosemary.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped parsley, rosemary, and minced garlic.
Once the cauliflower steaks are done, transfer them to a serving platter.
Drizzle the lemon herb vinaigrette over the grilled cauliflower steaks.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!
