Burnished, lightly charred whole cauliflower slathered in a savory teriyaki sauce has entrée energy, but there are a few pitfalls to avoid when grilling the heads. Here's how to ensure perfect results.
Tim Chin is a professional cook and writer who started contributing to Serious Eats in early 2020. He holds a degree in Classic Pastry Arts at The International Culinary Center.Starting the cauliflower on low heat in a covered grill before moving it to the hot side of the grill allows the cauliflower to become tender on the outside without burning on the outside.
I’m a sucker for Japanese-American classics like teriyaki chicken, and for me, the best part of that dish isn’t the chicken itself, but the smoky, chargrilled vegetables that often accompany it. But when you bring the teriyaki treatment to a whole head of cauliflower, it captures the spirit and what I love most about the original: Deep umami notes, charcoal, caramelized flavors, sweetness, salt, substance.
Baking was a better direction, since the dry cooking environment drew moisture from the exterior, ensuring that the heads charred well on the grill. But similar to my tests with boiling and microwaving, even after grilling, the baked cauliflower lacked the smoky, grilled aroma and flavor I wanted.
