• 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.

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.
