This quick and easy Grilled Cauliflower recipe is a hack on our famous Grilled Cauliflower Steaks! We use the same spices, but sometimes it’s a bit tricky to cut the cauliflower steaks, so this recipe we simply cut the cauliflower into florets!

If you are like me you are always struggling on what to serve with your favorite grilled main dish recipes like our favorite Grilled Pineapple Chicken, which pairs great with this cauliflower recipe.

I love making the entire meal on the grill because then I’m not juggling things inside and outside, so easy vegetables on the grill like this make it so easy to make my dinners outside on the grill!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe!

• The perfect charred, crispy crust on this cauliflower from grilling is amazing.
• It is cooked through with a slightly crunch still.
• The seasonings on this easy cauliflower will have you reaching for seconds.

Ingredients for Grilled Cauliflower

• Cauliflower
• Garlic Powder
• Smoked Paprika
• Sea Salt
• Black Pepper
• Onion Powder
• Olive Oil

What other seasonings can I use?

• Steak Seasoning – Gives it a hearty taste that pairs well with vegetables.
• Chile Lime – Add a little kick and flavor!
• Curry – Delicious and unique.
• Old Bay – Simple and common but still a great seasoning that’s probably already in your pantry!
• Lemon Pepper – Adds a hint of lemon and spice.
• Blackening Spice – Gives a pepper taste that cuts the sweetness of the cauliflower.

How to Grill Cauliflower

• Prep Cauliflower – Wash your cauliflower and cut into pieces. 
• Season Cauliflower – Add spice and olive oil into a bag and mix. Once done, add in the cauliflower and coat.
• Grill – Once coated, put on the grill {we love our grill pan!}  and cook for about 20 minutes.

How long should I grill cauliflower?

You should plan on grilling your cauliflower for about 20 minutes. If you do less time, it will have more crunch to it and if you do more time, it will be softer in texture.

What if I don’t have a grill pan?

If you don’t have a grill pan, don’t fret. You can simply use this aluminum foil hack instead!

Make a “bowl” and set the cauliflower on it. Leave it open on top to be charred. If you want it to be less charred, you can seal up the tinfoil for a more steamed effect and texture.

How to Store Leftovers

Once it is cooled, stored them in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge.

Eating it within 48 hours after being grilled is a safe bet. Any longer than that and it might not hold their shape or taste as much.

How to Reheat Leftovers

You can reheat it on low in a pan on the stove or simply put it in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
