Grilled Cauliflower with Rosemary and Thyme is the perfect summer side dish, scented with fresh herbs.
I love no-fuss Summer grilling because it keeps the kitchen cool and there’s virtually no clean-up involved. Both proteins and vegetables can be grilled at the same time too, so there’s no need to turn on the stove or oven.
I’ve grilled vegetables such as asparagus, romaine lettuce (Caesar Salad), and zucchini and eggplant (Ratatouille) over the years, but until recently, hadn’t tried grilling cauliflower.
Grilling cauliflower is just like roasting it in the oven (roasted cauliflower and potatoes is one of our family’s favorite cold weather side dishes). The trick is to slice the cauliflower into uniformly thick pieces and lay them in a single layer, and place some fresh herbs on top to scent it.
I flip the pieces over halfway through cooking so both sides get nice and brown. A garnish of fresh rosemary is all you need to present this simple Summer grilled cauliflower dish.

Have been eating lots of roasted cauliflower and still can’t get enough of it. This looks so yum, Jeanette.
Thanks Angie! My kids love roasted cauliflower. Grilling it results in better browning I found, but it’s delicious either way.
I could eat this for my main dish! I love cauliflower!
Fancy summer grilling! This is beautiful!
This would be a huge hit with my family, thank you!
Love how easy this is! Grilling veggies are the best!
