Grilled Truffle-Parmesan Cauliflower Steaks

Cutting cauliflower into "steaks" and cooking them on a grill creates wonderful caramelized edges and smoky flavor. Topped with nutty Parmesan and earthy truffle oil, this is sure to become your favorite way to eat cauliflower. I like my cauliflower a little on the firm side, so add a few extra minutes if you like it softer.

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
• ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons truffle oil
• 2 large heads cauliflower

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Whisk oil, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl.

Step 2

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 1/2 inches thick; remove any remaining small leaves from each steak. Place the 4 steaks on a baking sheet.

Step 3

Brush one side of the steaks with some of the oil mixture.

Step 4

Place steaks on the grill, oiled-side down; grill for 5 minutes. Brush more oil mixture on top and gently flip over; grill until golden brown and slightly charred, 5 to 7 minutes more. Remove to a platter and drizzle with truffle oil. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and parsley.
