You'll love how Grilled Cauliflower Florets In Foil cook up tender crisp. With a deep grilled flavor and light seasoning, this cauliflower makes a tasty and healthy side dish.
First, preheat the grill to high and close the lid. This helps the grill to heat up faster.
Measure out a sheet of aluminum foil and fold up all the edges (see photos). The foil keeps the cauliflower from falling into the grill grates while still allowing it to get delicious grill marks.
Add cauliflower florets to a shallow pan for preparation. Drizzle on olive oil (about a Tablespoon or to taste) and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss with a spoon to coat veggies in oil and seasonings.
Open the grill. Carefully add the sheet of foil. Next add the cauliflower to the foil.
Close the lid and cook for 5 minutes.
Open the grill and mix up the cauliflower with a spatula. Depending how hot your grill runs, you may need to reduce the heat to medium low at this point.
Close up the grill and cook for another 5 minutes. Then open the grill and check that the cauliflower is done to your liking. Pierce it with a fork to check tenderness. If you prefer it cooked more, just close the lid and cook for another few minutes.
If the cauliflower is done cooking, use tongs to remove it from the foil and place on a serving plate.
Close the lid of the grill and turn off the heat.
