Ingredients
  

  • 1 head cauliflower cut into steaks
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 teaspooons dried herbs Italian blend, or oregano, thyme, rosemary or whatever you have on hand.
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  • fresh lemon to squeeze over top

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat to ensure it's hot and ready for the cauliflower steaks.
  • Wash and trim the leaves off the cauliflower, and cut it into thick steaks approximately 3/4 inch thick. Be careful to keep the core intact to hold the steaks together.
  • Mix the oil, dried herbs, garlic and onion powder, salt and pepper and red pepper flakes in a small bowl, then brush the herb oil over both sides of the cauliflower steaks.
  • Grill the cauliflower steaks for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they have nice grill marks and are tender. The exact time may vary based on your grill and the thickness of your cauliflower steaks.
  • Squeeze a bit of lemon juice over the grilled steaks before serving to add a fresh zing that lifts all the flavors beautifully.

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips
  • Make sure the grill is properly preheated to avoid the cauliflower sticking and to achieve those beautiful grill marks.
  • Keep an eye on the steaks as they grill. Each grill is different, and cooking times may vary.
  • Experiment with different dried herbs to find your favorite combination. Each blend offers a unique taste profile. Try Italian seasoning, lemon pepper, Cajun, or even a steak blend.
