Grilled cauliflower steaks offer a delectable twist to traditional steak dishes, presenting a flavorful and nutritious alternative that's perfect for vegetarians and meat-lovers alike.
Servings: 2 people
Ingredients
- 1 medium head of cauliflower
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or cilantro (chopped for garnish)
- Optional: lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove any outer leaves from the cauliflower and trim the stem, making sure to keep the core intact.
- Slice the cauliflower into 1-inch thick steaks, cutting from top to bottom. You should get 2 large steaks from the center of the cauliflower and possibly a few smaller ones from the sides.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Brush both sides of the cauliflower steaks with the olive oil mixture, making sure they are well coated.
- Place the cauliflower steaks on the preheated grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
- Once the cauliflower steaks are cooked through, remove them from the grill and transfer to a serving plate.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro.
- Serve the grilled cauliflower steaks hot, with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top if desired.
