Serves: 4 cauliflower steaks
Ingredients
  • 1 large head of cauliflower
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 lime, zested and juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely grated
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 1 tablespoon chipotle powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup finely chopped cilantro leaves
  • Lime wedges, to serve
Instructions
  1. Remove the leaves on each cauliflower head and trim the stem end until you can set the cauliflower flat on the cutting board. Use a large, sharp knife to trim off one side, then cut the cauliflower into 3 to 4 thick "steaks." These steaks should be about 1 inch wide. Reserve the florets that fall away for either another recipe or if they are large enough, grill along with the steaks.
  2. Whisk the olive oil with the lime juice in a small bowl. Add in the grated garlic and honey. In a separate bowl, mix the lime zest, paprika, chipotle, and salt.
  3. Heat a gas or charcoal grill to high. Brush one side of each cauliflower steak with the olive oil mixture and sprinkle generously with the chipotle powder mixture. Place the seasoned side down on the hot grill. Brush the tops with the olive oil mixture and season with the chipotle mix.
  4. Cover the grill and cook for 10 minutes. Remove the lid and carefully flip the cauliflower. Cook covered for an additional 5-10 minutes or until done to your desired texture. I personally like to cook them longer to ensure the steak is completely charred and tender.
  5. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
