Ingredients
- 1 large cauliflower head
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 whole zest of lemon
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Trim the green leaves from the cauliflower and cut the stem so the base of the cauliflower is flat. Cut the cauliflower vertically through the core into 3/4-inch thick 'steaks'. You should be able to get 2 to 3 sizable steaks from one cauliflower head.
Step 3
Brush both sides of the cauliflower steaks with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Step 4
Finely chop the fresh parsley and fresh thyme. Mince the garlic cloves.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, thyme, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and lemon zest to create the vinaigrette.
Step 6
Place the cauliflower steaks on the preheated grill, closing the lid. Grill for 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until nicely charred and tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 7
Remove the cauliflower steaks from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Step 8
Drizzle the lemon herb vinaigrette over the grilled cauliflower steaks.
Step 9
Serve immediately while warm. Enjoy your delicious low-carb grilled cauliflower steaks with lemon herb vinaigrette!
