Ingredients

• 1 large head cauliflower
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh basil
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Remove any leaves and trim the stem of the cauliflower head. Place the cauliflower upright on a cutting board and carefully slice it into four thick steaks, approximately 1-inch thick each.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Brush both sides of the cauliflower steaks with the seasoned oil.

Step 4

Place the cauliflower steaks on the grill. Cook for about 7-8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and tender, with nice grill marks.

Step 5

While the cauliflower steaks are grilling, prepare the vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, chopped parsley, chopped basil, Dijon mustard, and honey until well combined.

Step 6

Once the cauliflower steaks are done, remove them from the grill and place them on a serving platter.

Step 7

Drizzle the lemon herb vinaigrette over the grilled cauliflower steaks just before serving.

Step 8

Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired and serve warm.
