Ingredients

Cauliflower. The star of this cauliflower steak recipe. If you’ve never tried grilled cauliflower steaks before this is the perfect gateway recipe.

Montreal Seasoning. Gives the cauliflower steaks a powerful flavor. I love how this bold-but-familiar blend combines steakhouse classics like black pepper, garlic, and paprika into a single, dynamite blend.Honey. Carmelizes on the cauliflower steaks as they cook to create a crispy crust. DELISH!

Avocado. The base for my insanely tasty sauce. It’s a twist on chimichurri—a fresh, herby, olive oil-based sauce that’s popular in South American cooking and balances the peppery Montreal seasoning perfectly.

Cilantro and Parsley. The core ingredients for traditional chimichurri. If you don’t love cilantro, you could stick to just parsley.Garlic and Oregano. For a little extra bite and an added layer of herby delight.Jalapeño. Adds an extra kick. Omit if you prefer a milder sauce.
