Grilled Cauliflower With Lemon And Parmesan Recipes

OVEN-ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH GARLIC, OLIVE OIL AND LEMON JUICE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• Place the cauliflower florets in a large saute pan or a roasting pan. Drizzle the olive oil over the cauliflower, and season with the garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Place the saute/roasting pan in the oven and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even roasting. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Garnish with chopped chives and serve immediately while still warm.

GRILLED CAULIFLOWER STEAKS

Steps:

• Remove the outer leaves from each cauliflower head. Cut off the bottom stem end so that you create a flat base and can stand the cauliflower up on a cutting board. Resting the cauliflower on the stem, use a large, sharp knife to trim away the sides, then cut the remaining head into 2 very thick or 3 more moderate "steaks." Reserve the sides for another use (see notes). In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, lemon zest and lemon juice, garlic, and honey.
• Heat a grill to medium (about 350 degrees F). Brush one side of each cauliflower steak with the lemon-olive oil mixture and then sprinkle the brush sides with half of the salt. Place the salted side down on the hot grill, then brush the tops of the steaks with the olive oil mixture and season with the remaining salt. Cover the grill and let cook for 5 to 6 minutes, until the bottom is beginning to char. Flip the cauliflower, then re-cover the grill and cook 5 additional minutes, until the cauliflower is tender. Remove from the grill. Sprinkle with the red pepper flakes, parsley, and walnuts. Serve hot with lemon wedges.

PARMESAN-ROASTED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Remove the outer green leaves from the cauliflower and cut the head into florets, discarding the stems. Place the florets on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Toss well. Bake for 30 minutes, tossing once, until the cauliflower is tender and starts to brown. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and Gruyere and bake for 1 to 2 more minutes, just until the cheese melts. Season to taste and serve hot or warm.

PARMESAN-ROASTED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Arrange cauliflower on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt, mixed herbs, and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil; toss until well coated. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
• Roast in the preheated oven until crisp, 10 to 15 minutes.

GRILLED BROCCOLI WITH LEMON & PARMESAN

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, toss broccoli with oil to coat. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of crushed red pepper; toss again.
• Heat grill to at least 400 degrees with vegetable grill pan in place during pre-heat. When ready, spread the broccoli over the grill pan and grill over high heat (med-high if grill runs hot) for 6-8 minutes, stirring and turning after a couple of minutes, until well browned in spots and fork-tender. Save the mixing bowl for the broccoli to go back into after being grilled.
• Remove from grill and transfer back to the mixing bowl. Toss with lemon zest and grated Parmesan. Taste and season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Top with shaved Parmesan for garnish, as desired. Serve immediately.

GRILLED CAULIFLOWER WITH LEMON AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-low. Remove outer green leaves from cauliflower. Slice into ¾-inch thick slice "steaks," cutting from top of head to bottom of stalk. (Some cauliflower florets will fall off; save for dipping in hummus or guacamole on the side!) Arrange steaks on a baking sheet or large plate. Whisk together oil, lemon juice, basil and oregano in a small bowl until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Brush mixture liberally on both sides of cauliflower to coat, reserving extra marinade. Arrange cauliflower on preheated grill. Cover and cook until browned on one side; turn over and cook until other side is browned, about 10 minutes in total. When flipping cauliflower, brush with reserved marinade. Sprinkle tops of cauliflower liberally with half of the cheese; cover and cook until melted. Turn cauliflower over; repeat with remaining cheese. Serve immediately.

PARMESAN-ROASTED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Line a large rimmed baking pan with foil and position oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425 F.
• Toss the cauliflower florets with the olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese in a large bowl. Alternatively, toss all the ingredients directly on the baking pan.
• Spread the cauliflower out in an even layer on the pan.
• Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, turning every 10 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and lightly browned.
• Transfer the cauliflower to a serving bowl with all the brown bits in the pan.
