Provided by noaddedsaltguy

Categories     Fruits and Vegetables     Vegetables     Cauliflower     Roasted

Time 30m

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 small head cauliflower
¼ cup olive oil
½ stick unsalted butter
ground black pepper to taste
2 slices Gouda cheese
2 slices sharp Cheddar cheese
2 slices beefsteak tomato

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Remove the tough bottom leaves from the cauliflower, taking care not to remove the stem. Place on a cutting board with the stem facing upwards; cut vertically on both sides of the stem to remove the loose florets. Reserve florets for another use. Cut vertically through the stem into 2 even "steaks", about 1 inch thick. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Roast cauliflower in the preheated oven until soft and browned, about 15 minutes.
  • Heat olive oil and butter in a large frying pan. Cook cauliflower until browned on one side, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip cauliflower and shift to one side of the pan so you have space to warm cheese slices.
  • Lay cheese slices in the pan until they begin to melt, then place over the cauliflower steaks. Warm tomato slices in the same way. Season with black pepper. Cover cheeses and tomatoes with the second steak. Flip "sandwich" and cook over low heat until cheeses are melted, 2 to 3 minutes more.

Grilled Cauliflower Steaks image

Provided by France C

Categories     100+ Everyday Cooking Recipes     Vegan

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

¼ cup olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon brown sugar
½ teaspoon chili powder
1 pinch ground black pepper to taste
2 large heads cauliflower
2 tablespoons minced cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Whisk oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, smoked paprika, brown sugar, chili powder, and black pepper together in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Remove the tough bottom leaves from each cauliflower, taking care not to remove the stem. Place the cauliflower heads onto a cutting board with the stem side facing upwards; cut vertically on both sides of the stem to remove the loose florets. Reserve florets for another use.
  • Cut each cauliflower vertically through the stem into 2 even "steaks", 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick. Remove any remaining small leaves from each steak. Place the 4 steaks on a baking sheet.
  • Brush one side of the steaks with some of the oil mixture. Place steaks on the grill, oiled side down; grill for 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower. For the best results, select a head of cauliflower that is firm and white, with no signs of bruising or wilting.
  • Roast the cauliflower before grilling. This will help to caramelize the cauliflower and give it a slightly smoky flavor.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in this recipe, so it's worth it to splurge on a good one.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When grilling the sandwiches, make sure to leave enough space between them so that they can cook evenly.
  • Serve the sandwiches hot. Grilled cheese sandwiches are best when served hot and gooey.

Conclusion:

Roasted cauliflower grilled cheese sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for lunch or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover roasted cauliflower. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a sandwich that is both flavorful and satisfying. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give roasted cauliflower grilled cheese sandwiches a try.
