Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower, keeping the core intact, and cut the cauliflower into thick steaks, about 1-inch thick.
Step 3
In a blender or food processor, combine olive oil, fresh parsley, fresh cilantro, fresh basil, garlic cloves, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth to create the herb oil. Set aside.
Step 4
Brush both sides of the cauliflower steaks generously with some of the herb oil.
Step 5
Place the cauliflower steaks on the preheated grill. Grill each side for about 6-8 minutes, or until they have nice grill marks and the cauliflower is tender (but not mushy).
Step 6
Remove the cauliflower from the grill and brush again with more herb oil for extra flavor.
Step 7
Serve immediately as a main dish or a side, optionally garnishing with additional fresh herbs if desired.
