Ingredients
•
1/4 cup olive oil
•
1 lemon, juiced
•
2 cloves garlic, minced
•
1 teaspoon salt
•
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
•
1 teaspoon brown sugar
•
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
•
1 pinch ground black pepper
•
2 large heads cauliflower
•
2 tablespoons minced cilantro
Directions
1
Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
2
Whisk oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, smoked paprika, brown sugar, chili powder, and black pepper together in a bowl; set aside.
3
Remove the tough bottom leaves from each cauliflower, taking care not to remove the stem. Place the cauliflower heads onto a cutting board with the stem side facing upwards; cut vertically on both sides of the stem to remove the loose florets. Cut each cauliflower vertically through the stem into 2 even "steaks", 1 to 1 ½ inches thick; remove any remaining small leaves from each steak. Place cauliflower steaks on a baking sheet.
4
Brush one side of each steak with some of the oil mixture. Place steaks on the preheated grill, oiled-side down; grill for 5 minutes. Brush more oil mixture on top of steaks and gently flip over; grill until golden brown and slightly charred, 5 to 7 minutes more. Drizzle with any remaining oil and remove to a plate. Sprinkle with cilantro.
