Cauliflower florets on the grill

Super Easy Grilled Cauliflower!

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!

Quick Tips and Tricks for the BEST Grilled Cauliflower!

Here are some frequently asked questions about grilling Grilled Cauliflower! If you have additional questions please comment below and we will do our best to answer them!

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 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 do you store grilled cauliflower?

Once it is cooled, stored them in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge. It’s really as simple as that.

How long do grilled cauliflower last 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 do you reheat it?

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

    I just quarter the cauliflower and lay the pieces straight on the grill, turning when I turn my steaks.
