Ingredients

  • 2 heads cauliflower leaves removed
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley optional
Marinade Ingredients
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon liquid smoke
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat grill to medium heat.
  2. Cut the cauliflower in half from top to bottom, cutting through the stem. (Do not remove the stem.)
  3. Cut each cauliflower half into 1 ½ - 2 inch slices (steaks). You should have 4 cauliflower steaks from one head of cauliflower depending on the size of the cauliflower.
  4. Arrange the cauliflower on a baking sheet or tray. Set aside.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients.
  6. Coat both sides of the cauliflower steaks with the seasoned oil using a pastry brush.
  7. Place the cauliflower steaks on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes.
  8. Carefully flip the cauliflower steaks over with a spatula and continue grilling for 3-4 minutes or until tender.
  9. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Cauliflower can be cut into steaks up to 8 hours ahead of time. Cauliflower steaks can be roasted in the oven at 425°F for 25 minutes or until tender-crisp. Broil 1 minute before serving. 
  • Ensure you cut the steaks at least 1 ½-inches thick or they may not hold together.
  • The bits of cauliflower that are too small to be steaks can be grilled in a grill basket, added to a stir fry, a casserole, or roasted.  
  • Leftover roasted cauliflower is great served chilled in salads, added to potato salad, or reheated.
