GRILLED SPICED CAULIFLOWER RECIPE

This recipe appears in: Transform Grilled Cauliflower With High Heat and a Whole Lot of Spice The high heat of the grill gives this cauliflower its crisp exterior, while an earthy spice rub delivers a ton of flavor. [Photographs: Joshua Bousel] Crisp, tender, and complex, this grilled spiced cauliflower takes a fall staple and pushes it to the extremes of both flavor and texture. Why this recipe works: * A spice mixture gives the cauliflower an earthy flavor with just a touch of heat. * Grilling the cauliflower over direct heat first creates a lightly charred, crispy crust. * Finishing the cauliflower over indirect heat lets it gently cook until tender throughout. Note: When slicing the cauliflower, be sure to cut through it vertically so that the florets on each slice are held together by a portion of the core and/or stalk-you want large pieces of cauliflower so that they don't slip down through the grill grate.
