    A great way to use cauliflower. The marinade is simple but packed with flavor. Will definitely make again!

  • Shea Herman

    My cauliflower fell apart on the grill. Next time, I'll try cutting thicker steaks and being extra careful when flipping.

  • Abraham Fisher

    Absolutely delicious! The smoked paprika really makes this dish. I added a pinch of cayenne for extra heat.

  • Ceasar Sporer

    I was skeptical at first, but these cauliflower steaks were amazing! My family loved them, even the kids.
