Grilled Cauliflower Steaks offer a delicious, healthy alternative to traditional meat steaks. This easy-to-make dish highlights the natural flavors of cauliflower enhanced by olive oil, garlic, and a blend of spices, making it perfect as a main or side dish for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 large head of cauliflower

Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Slice the Cauliflower: Remove the leaves and trim the stem end of the cauliflower, keeping the core intact. Cut the cauliflower into 3/4-inch thick steaks, working from the center outwards to get 2-3 good-sized steaks.
  2. Prepare the Seasoning: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful marinade.
  3. Season the Steaks: Brush both sides of each cauliflower steak generously with the olive oil and spice mixture to ensure even coating and flavor.
  4. Grill the Cauliflower Steaks: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the steaks on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until tender and nicely charred, turning carefully to avoid breaking them.
  5. Serve Warm: Once grilled, transfer the cauliflower steaks to a serving plate and enjoy as a hearty vegetarian main or a side dish to your favorite meal.

Notes

  • Use a sharp knife and handle gently when slicing to keep the steaks intact.
  • If you don’t have a grill, you can use a grill pan on the stovetop or roast the steaks in the oven at 425°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping midway.
  • Experiment with different spices like chili powder or curry powder for varied flavors.
  • These steaks pair well with a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of tahini sauce.
