How to make grilled cauliflower (basic steps)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately making grilled cauliflower recipe isn’t as simple as popping raw cauliflower on to the grill! Because it has a tough texture, you’ll need to cook the florets prior to grilling. If you try to grill raw cauliflower, it comes out blackened but still very tough. The best way to cook prior to the grill is steaming it<\/strong>. We use the technique of cooking veggies before grilling them for hard veggies like potatoes and carrots. Here’s how to make roasted cauliflower on the grill (or go right to the recipe<\/a>):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Preheat a grill to medium high heat. <\/li>
  2. Cut the cauliflower into florets. <\/li>
  3. Place the cauliflower in a pan with water, cover, and steam it for about 5 minutes until fork tender. <\/li>
  4. Place the florets on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt.*<\/li>
  5. Grill for about 4 minutes per side, until tender. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    *Note: <\/strong>If you’d like to use BBQ sauce for your grilled cauliflower, paint BBQ sauce on the cauliflower florets instead of olive oil before you put them on the grill. Then remove them and paint another coat on after they are grilled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
