Steps:
- For the cauliflower: Preheat the oven or a grill for cooking over indirect heat to 400 degrees F.
- Lightly brush the oil on the cauliflower. (If roasting, cut into florets and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or nonstick aluminum foil.) Sprinkle with salt, a few grinds of pepper and paprika, if using.
- Place the cauliflower stem-side down over the indirect heat and grill until golden and tender when pierced with a fork or the tip of a knife, about 40 minutes. (If roasting, roast until the cauliflower is golden in parts, 20 to 25 minutes.)
- Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a medium bowl, add the mayonnaise, chile sauce, honey and sriracha and whisk until smooth. Taste and season with salt and a few grinds of pepper.
- Cut the cauliflower unto large florets and add to a large bowl. Drizzle the sauce over the cauliflower and toss to coat evenly. Transfer to a platter. Sprinkle with the scallions, spritz with lemon wedges, and serve hot, warm or chilled.
GRILLED WHOLE CAULIFLOWER WITH MISO MAYO
Basting a head of cauliflower in a spicy butter sauce as it grills infuses it with flavor and turns it a nice orange color. Served over a lemony miso mayo and topped with scallions, it makes for an impressive-looking grilled vegetarian entrée, or you can serve it as a side alongside your favorite grilled meat.

Steps:
- Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Sprinkle cauliflower all over with salt in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pierce plastic a few times with a knife to vent, and microwave on high until a paring knife easily slides into stem, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly. (Alternatively, set a steamer basket in a large pot filled with about 1" salted water. Cover pot and bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower, cover, and steam until a sharp paring knife easily slides into stem, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let cool slightly.)
- Heat butter, hot sauce, ketchup, and soy sauce in a small saucepan on grill, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted, about 2 minutes. Brush cauliflower all over with sauce and grill, covered, 10 minutes. Turn cauliflower over, brush with sauce, and grill, covered, 10 minutes. Continue to grill, brushing and turning every 10 minutes and reheating sauce as needed, until cauliflower is lightly charred on all sides and fork-tender, 25-30 minutes. The sauce should be used up by now, but if not, brush any remaining sauce over. Transfer cauliflower to a plate and let cool slightly.
- Whisk mayonnaise, miso, lemon juice, and pepper in a medium bowl until smooth. Spread on a plate. Set cauliflower on top and scatter scallions over.

Steps:
- Wash cauliflower. Remove leaves and stem. With a sharp knife, cut/dig out the hard core.
- Tear a large piece of heavy-duty aliminum foil large enough to wrap the cauliflower. Place the cauliflower in the center if the piece of foil. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the softened butter and all the seasonings; mix well.
- Spread the seasoned butter mixture over top of the cauliflower. Wrap tightly in the foil.
- Place on top rack of grill, close lid and grill over med-high heat for about 50 - 60 minutes or until desired tenderness is achieved (you can test w/ a sharp knife or fork right through the foil).
- Be careful not to get steam burns when openening the foil.
Tips:
- Choose a firm, compact head of cauliflower with tightly packed florets. Remove any leaves and trim the stem to about 2 inches.
- To prevent the cauliflower from falling apart, wrap it tightly in foil before grilling.
- Cook the cauliflower over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until it is tender and slightly charred, about 20 minutes.
- Make the miso mayo sauce while the cauliflower is grilling. Simply whisk together mayonnaise, miso paste, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and garlic powder in a small bowl.
- Once the cauliflower is cooked, let it cool slightly before slicing and serving. Drizzle with the miso mayo sauce and sprinkle with chopped chives.
