Start by preparing the cauliflower: Remove the outer leaves and trim the base. Cut each cauliflower head into thick 'steak' slices about 1.5 inches thick. Each head should yield about 2 'steaks', with leftover florets for another use.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Place the cauliflower steaks in a shallow dish or a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium heat (around 375°F/190°C).
Once the grill is ready, lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Remove the cauliflower steaks from the marinade and place them on the grill.
Grill the cauliflower steaks for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until they achieve a nice char and are tender when pierced with a fork. Baste with remaining marinade halfway through grilling for extra flavor.
Once cooked, remove the steaks from the grill and drizzle with fresh lemon juice. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve immediately with your choice of vegan side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh garden salad.
