ingredients
Steps
Prepare Cauliflower
Wash the cauliflower, remove the outer leaves and the core. Cut the cauliflower into approximately 1-inch thick slices, ensuring the core holds the slices together. Prepare 2-3 "steaks" from the center of the cauliflower.
Seasoning
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Brush both sides of the cauliflower slices thoroughly with the seasoned oil.
Grilling
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the seasoned cauliflower slices on the grill grates and cook for 7-10 minutes per side, until golden brown, tender, and slightly charred but still firm.
Serving
Remove the cauliflower steaks from the grill. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
Extra Tips
► Don't cut the cauliflower slices too thin, so they don't fall apart during grilling.
► If you don't have a grill, you can bake them in the oven: bake at 200°C (400°F) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway.
► Experiment with other spices like cumin or chili for an even more exciting flavor.
