Halal BBQ Cauliflower Steaks

Halal BBQ Cauliflower Steaks are a deliciously smoky and flavorful twist on traditional BBQ, offering a hearty and satisfying plant-based option. Grilled to perfection and infused with a zesty marinade, these cauliflower steaks are perfect for a summer cookout or a cozy dinner at home.

Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 1 medium head
• Olive oil - 3 tablespoons
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• BBQ sauce - 1/2 cup
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)

Steps

1. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.
2. Remove the leaves from the cauliflower head and trim the stem, ensuring the cauliflower stands upright.
3. Slice the cauliflower into 1-inch thick steaks, making about 2-3 steaks depending on the size of the head.
4. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
5. Brush the marinade generously over both sides of each cauliflower steak.
6. Place the cauliflower steaks on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they have nice grill marks and are tender.
7. During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the BBQ sauce over the steaks to caramelize it slightly.
8. Once cooked, remove the cauliflower steaks from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
9. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
