Loaded Grilled Cauliflower

Ingredients

  • 2 large heads cauliflower
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar
  • Ranch dressing, for drizzling
  • 8 slices cooked bacon
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped chives

Cooking Instructions

Step 1: Remove and discard the leaves from each cauliflower head, then trim the stem so that the cauliflower can lay flat on cutting board. (Leave the core intact!)

Step 2: Cut each cauliflower into thick “steaks” about 3/4″ thick. Reserve any loose florets to cook with the steaks. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, and paprika. Season mixture with salt and pepper.

Step 3: Heat a grill or a grill pan to medium. Brush one side of each steak with the olive oil mixture and place the brushed side down on a grill. Brush the top sides with the olive oil mixture and cook until tender and charred in spots, about 8 minutes per side. Top each cauliflower with cheese and cook until melted.

Step 4: Toss extra florets in the olive oil mixture and grill, turning often, until charred and tender, about 6 minutes.

Step 5: Drizzle cauliflower with ranch then sprinkle cooked bacon and chives on top.
