Total Time:30 mins

Servings: 4

Ingredients

1 large head Cauliflower
2 tablespoons Olive oil
0.25 cup Fresh parsley
0.25 cup Fresh basil
2 cloves Garlic
2 tablespoons Lemon juice
0.5 teaspoon Salt
0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
0.125 teaspoon Red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or prepare a grill pan on the stove top.

Step 2

Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower head. Slice it into 1/2-inch thick slabs or 'steaks'.

Step 3

In a blender or food processor, combine olive oil, fresh parsley, fresh basil, garlic cloves, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined to create the herb oil.

Step 4

Brush both sides of the cauliflower slabs with the herb oil mixture, saving a little for later.

Step 5

Place the cauliflower on the preheated grill. Grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until tender and lightly charred.

Step 6

Remove the cauliflower from the grill and brush with any remaining herb oil.

Step 7

Serve immediately as a delicious, low-fat side dish or enjoy as a light main course.
