Time 1h10m

Yield 1 head cauliflower

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 cup turbinado sugar
1/2 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons chili powder
3 tablespoons smoked paprika
2 tablespoons granulated garlic
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 whole head cauliflower, leaves removed
1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup favorite bottled BBQ Sauce
Homemade Ranch Dressing, recipe follows
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh dill
1/2 teaspoon honey or agave syrup
1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the BBQ rub: Whisk together turbinado sugar, salt, granulated sugar, chili powder, smoked paprika, granulated garlic, onion powder, cayenne, cumin and pepper in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • For the cauliflower: Heat a grill for cooking over high heat and line a baking sheet with a large doubled piece of heavy-duty foil.
  • Place cauliflower on prepared baking sheet. Coat entire head of cauliflower in butter using a pastry brush, then sprinkle 1/4 cup of the BBQ rub on the entire surface, including the bottom. Roll the edges of the foil up to create a rim around the cauliflower, then tent with more foil. Place baking sheet on grill and cook, covered, for 15 minutes. Carefully remove the foil lid and cook, covered, until just tender, another 25 minutes. Brush on BBQ sauce and continue to cook, covered, until nicely glazed, about 5 minutes. Cut up and serve with homemade ranch dressing, for dipping.
  • Mix the mayonnaise, buttermilk, garlic, dill, honey and mustard in a bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Store in an airtight container for up to one week.

This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the BBQ sauce and they ate all of their cauliflower.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cauliflower didn't turn out as tender as I hoped. It was still tasty, but it was a bit tough.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover cauliflower. I always have some leftover from other recipes and this is a great way to use it up.

The cauliflower was a bit too charred for my liking, but the flavor was still good.

The cauliflower was a bit bland for my taste, but the sauce was delicious. I think I'll try adding some more spices to the cauliflower next time.
