Ingredients for Grilled Cauliflower Steaks

Cauliflower – Pick a large cauliflower head that’s fresh looking and free from blemishes. Frozen florets will also work, just thaw first & adjust the cooking time as needed!

Marinade – We used a blend of olive oil with garlic and onion powder, paprika for a bit of a kick, and liquid smoke to give it that smokey flavor. Add a splash of lemon juice or some fresh herbs if you’d like.

How to Cut Cauliflower into Steaks

These Cauliflower Steaks are ready in less than 30 minutes, including the amount of time it takes to cut the steaks!

Cut the cauliflower steaks by FIRST cutting the head of the cauliflower in half down the center on a cutting board. Do not remove the stem.Cut each half into 1 1/2 – 2 inch wide “steaks”. You should be able to get two steaks from each half depending on the size of the cauliflower. If you cut thinner steaks the florets will not hold together.

Use the leftover cauliflower bits to roast until crispy or even to make cauliflower bread sticks.

Cooking Cauliflower Steaks on the Grill

Like most grilled vegetables, the BBQ adds another layer of flavor!

Whisk the cauliflower steak marinade ingredients per recipe below.Brush both sides of the cauliflower with the seasoning and grill on a medium grill for 4-5 minutes per side or until tender. (Note: These also can be cooked in the oven).

Serve as is or with chimichurri sauce.

Serve immediately sprinkled with parsley, if desired. If you’d like a sauce, serve with a cool, fresh Tzatziki Sauce, a spicy Buffalo Sauce, or a drizzle of Pesto for light summer flavor!
