Time 1h10m

Yield 1 head cauliflower

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 cup turbinado sugar
1/2 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons chili powder
3 tablespoons smoked paprika
2 tablespoons granulated garlic
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 whole head cauliflower, leaves removed
1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup favorite bottled BBQ Sauce
Homemade Ranch Dressing, recipe follows
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh dill
1/2 teaspoon honey or agave syrup
1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the BBQ rub: Whisk together turbinado sugar, salt, granulated sugar, chili powder, smoked paprika, granulated garlic, onion powder, cayenne, cumin and pepper in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • For the cauliflower: Heat a grill for cooking over high heat and line a baking sheet with a large doubled piece of heavy-duty foil.
  • Place cauliflower on prepared baking sheet. Coat entire head of cauliflower in butter using a pastry brush, then sprinkle 1/4 cup of the BBQ rub on the entire surface, including the bottom. Roll the edges of the foil up to create a rim around the cauliflower, then tent with more foil. Place baking sheet on grill and cook, covered, for 15 minutes. Carefully remove the foil lid and cook, covered, until just tender, another 25 minutes. Brush on BBQ sauce and continue to cook, covered, until nicely glazed, about 5 minutes.

BBQ CAULIFLOWER "WINGS"



BBQ Cauliflower

Categories     appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the baking sheet
1 cup white rice flour
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 medium head cauliflower, cut into 2- to 3-inch florets, stems reserved for another use
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Carrot and celery sticks, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly spray a nonstick baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the rice flour, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper. Whisk in 1 cup water until completely incorporated and you have a thin batter. Add the cauliflower florets and toss to coat completely with the batter. Use tongs or a fork to remove the florets from the bowl, allowing excess batter to drip off. Place in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake until the batter begins to set, about 10 minutes. Use tongs or a spatula to flip the florets and bake the other side until the batter looks completely dry, about 10 minutes longer.
  • Meanwhile, combine the barbecue sauce and butter in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted.
  • When the cauliflower is done, use a pastry brush to completely coat the florets with the sauce. Bake again until the florets are crispy and the sauce is completely absorbed, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with carrot and celery sticks on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose a cauliflower head that is firm and has tightly packed florets.
  • Cut the cauliflower into 1-inch florets.
  • Toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  • Grill the cauliflower florets for 10-12 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
  • Serve the grilled cauliflower immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Grilled cauliflower is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you prefer it simple or loaded with toppings, grilled cauliflower is sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give grilled cauliflower a try.
