Grilled Purple Cauliflower

March 12, 2021 By Anthony Serrano

I know, cauliflower is everywhere but have you tried grilling purple cauliflower? Every time I see it at my local farmers market I pick up a head or two. Grilled purple cauliflower isn’t just beautiful it’s also packed with amazing flavor. I like to keep it simple and season the purple cauliflower with sea salt, lemon juice, lemon zest, and a little crushed garlic. Grilled cauliflower on a Bull Grill makes a perfect side dish or is tasty and hearty enough to be the star of your next meal.

Purple cauliflower is considered a superfood and is charged full of antioxidants. It has a mild flavor with nutty nuances that really shine when grilled. The cauliflower doesn’t need much added to it although pairing with a little melted cheese or creamy dipping sauce is another way to serve it.

I normally use a combination of cast iron and indirect heat to cook the purple cauliflower on a Bull Grill. However slicing the cauliflower vertically into steaks and grilling over open fire is another awesome way to serve & cook it.

Cauliflower will absorb some smoky flavors which is why using a smoke box or using the Bull Bison Charcoal Grill is another amazing way to elevate this dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole purple cauliflower head about 2 pounds
  • avocado oil spray or duck fat spray
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp cracked pepper
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp crushed garlic
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest

Instructions

  • Preheat the Bull Grill to medium-high heat. Trim away the leaves at the bottom of the cauliflower head. Cut off and remove as much of the stem and tough core as possible while leaving the head intact.
  • Rinse and pat dry the trimmed cauliflower head. Spray the cauliflower with avocado oil or duck fat until the cauliflower is well coated. Season both sides of the cauliflower liberally with salt & pepper.
  • Place the cauliflower florets-side up on a cast-iron skillet, and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Turn off the middle two burners of the Bull Grill. Place the cast iron over the area with indirect heat and cook for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the foil from the skillet, and pour lemon juice evenly over the cauliflower. Then sprinkle the crushed garlic and lemon zest all over the cauliflower.
  • Cook until the cauliflower is golden brown on the outside and fork-tender on the inside.
  • Remove from Bull Grill, cut into sections, and serve.
