These super simple cauliflower steaks would make a hearty and healthy side at your next summer BBQ, or would serve nicely as an easy vegetarian entree, either on their own or as a burger.
One head fresh cauliflowerI got two "steaks" out of mine plus a lot of leftover florets -- you might get as many as four if you have a bigger cauliflower head that holds together better
Chop the end of the stem off your cauliflower, leaving a bit in place to hold it together.
Slice your cauliflower into thick vertical slices, then remove any leaves remaining on them.
I only got two "steaks" out of mine, but it was small. (Reserve the rest of the florets for another use, or cook them up with a little olive oil and some seasonings of choice in foil packets while you have the grill going.)
Mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper in a small bowl.
Generously brush both sides of your cauliflower steaks with the olive oil mixture.
Grill over medium heat for 5 minutes a side (10 minutes total) or until fork tender.
Serve garnished with parsley and/or Parmesan cheese (optional).
