Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Cut the cauliflower into large florets, ensuring that they are all similar in size to promote even cooking.
Step 2
In a food processor, combine olive oil, fresh parsley, fresh cilantro, fresh thyme, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic cloves, salt, and black pepper. Process until a smooth herb paste forms.
Step 3
Place the cauliflower florets in a large bowl and pour the herb oil over them. Toss the florets to coat them evenly with the herb mixture. Cover the bowl and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.
Step 4
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated cauliflower florets on the grill.
Step 5
Grill the cauliflower for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they are tender and have nice char marks.
Step 6
Remove the cauliflower from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Step 7
Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired and serve warm.
