Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Remove the outer leaves and thick stem of the cauliflower while keeping the head intact. Slice the cauliflower into 1-inch thick steaks. You should get about 4 steaks from one head.
In a bowl, combine olive oil, finely chopped parsley, basil, thyme, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the herb oil.
Brush both sides of the cauliflower steaks generously with the herb oil.
Place the cauliflower steaks on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the cauliflower is tender and has a nice char.
Once cooked, transfer the cauliflower to a serving platter and drizzle any remaining herb oil over the top.
Serve warm as a side dish or a healthy Paleo appetizer.
