Grilled Cauliflower Steaks

Directions

Ingredients :

¼ cup olive oil

1 lemon

juiced

2 cloves garlic

minced

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon brown sugar

½ teaspoon chili powder

1 pinch ground black pepper to taste

2 large heads cauliflower

2 tablespoons minced cilantro (Optional)

Methods :

Preheat grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Whisk oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, smoked paprika, brown sugar, chili powder, and black pepper together in a bowl. Set aside.

Remove the tough bottom leaves from each cauliflower, taking care not to remove the stem. Place the cauliflower heads onto a cutting board with the stem side facing upwards; cut vertically on both sides of the stem to remove the loose florets. Reserve florets for another use.

Cut each cauliflower vertically through the stem into 2 even “steaks”, 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick. Remove any remaining small leaves from each steak. Place the 4 steaks on a baking sheet.

Brush one side of the steaks with some of the oil mixture. Place steaks on the grill, oiled side down; grill for 5 minutes. Brush more oil mixture on top of the steaks and gently flip over; grill until golden brown and slightly charred, 5 to 7 minutes more. Drizzle with any remaining oil and remove to a plate. Sprinkle with cilantro.
