Grilled Cauliflower Steaks

Ingredients

• 0.25 cups olive oil
• 1 lemon , juiced
• 2 cloves garlic , minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 pinch ground black pepper
• 2 large heads cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons minced cilantro , Optional

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

2. 2

   Whisk oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, smoked paprika, brown sugar, chili powder, and black pepper together in a bowl; set aside.

3. 3

   Remove the tough bottom leaves from each cauliflower, taking care not to remove the stem. Place the cauliflower heads onto a cutting board with the stem side facing upwards; cut vertically on both sides of the stem to remove the loose florets. Cut each cauliflower vertically through the stem into 2 even "steaks", 1 to 1 ½ inches thick; remove any remaining small leaves from each steak. Place cauliflower steaks on a baking sheet.

4. 4

   Brush one side of each steak with some of the oil mixture. Place steaks on the preheated grill, oiled-side down; grill for 5 minutes. Brush more oil mixture on top of steaks and gently flip over; grill until golden brown and slightly charred, 5 to 7 minutes more. Drizzle with any remaining oil and remove to a plate. Sprinkle with cilantro.
