I followed this technique yesterday and roasted the cauliflower instead of grilling it. It was excellent. I preheated a sheet pan in the oven until it was piping hot and only then placed the cauliflower. Initially all the residual water dries up and only then does the browning start. I have been looking for a way to overcome the seasoning problem that Dan talks about and this one nails it. In my case only 10 mins in the microwave was enough.
I steam mine beforehand, about 8-10 minutes. Then I use a garam masala spice mix. I spray a bit of oil on the cauliflower then liberally apply the garam masala powder while it fries on the dutch oven. I also add carrots, broccoli, and peas. carrots and broccoli need to be steamed prior as well.
Try this cut them in small pieces and add olive oil salt and black paper than put them in preheated 400 f or 200 c oven for about 25 minutes to 30 minutes until they are perfectly cooked
Panch Phoron is another amazing Indian inspired flavour combination for grilled or baked Cauliflower. If you haven't I really recommend you check it out if you like garam masala!
I love cauliflower and followed this recipe to the letter and found that 14mins in the nuke made it too tender to flip on the grill, it disintegrated. Tried a second time at 7mins and it came out perfect, brown and crispy on the outside yet creamy on the inside. I think the key was shortening the cook time and extending the grill time.
Dan you make it so straight forward and I love you teach any new cooks watching to watch out for that steam. In my early twenties I got some nasty burns that way.
What a convoluted way of doing something simple. Salt and oil it and pop in air fryer or oven. If you must grill, cut in stakes, par boil or steam it. Hit it with salt after steaming so the salt and pepper sticks. Oil it and grill. But if you really want cauliflower to shine, head to you local Indian restaurant and try Gobi (cauliflower) 65.
@@stevenbeach748 Right you are. However, Ann Marie's comment above pertained to her experience (assumed)... Air FRYING and, as the name implies, is Frying - not baking .... Processing the cauliflower in an Air Fryer is more akin to grilling as opposed to "baking". (Google: Air Fryer Cauliflower ... and check out any of the recipes offered.) Since Ann Marie hasn't responded, I'm going to assume she processed them for 6-min. @ 400 deg. F. (after pre-cooking them in a microwave) to attain the degree of crispness obtained from "grilling". Would also suggest pre-heating Air Fryer for at least 3-min. Bon Appetite Cheers 😋
I'm curious. I don't have a grill or a microwave. Would steaming work for the par cooking? Then a grill pan for the char? Or would roasting be a better option?
His recipe looks wonderful. I roast cauliflower regularly and it’s delicious. I just chop in smaller pcs olive oil salt and pepper. 425 till nice browning. Set on broil towards end fit extra brown.
I don’t think Dan know what “dissolve” means. If salt and sugar are dissolved in water, then the water should be clear. Probably doesn’t matter for this recipe, however it shouldn’t be called a “solution”. Also, I don’t think it’s a good idea to use EVOO for browning on a grill. A quick Maillard reaction (e.g., on a grill) will take place at >350 degrees F, above the smoke point if EVOO. In fact, those grill grates might be closer to 500 degrees. That’s why people typically use a neutral oil with a high smoke point to grill. If you want the flavor of EVOO then use it to baste at the end (which he does).
The best thing about atk is you give measurements for everything rather than just say a little of this & a little of that, as your little may not be the the same for everyone.
@@trevorc4413 🙋🏾♀️ Trevor, thanks for the information!👍🏿 I washed them and cut them up into small pieces to steam and serve with the cauliflower. I dont like to waste anything! Thanks!👊🏿
The most convoluted method of grilling cauliflower that I’ve EVER seen. How about simply tossing the pieces in oil, salting them (the salt will now stick) and grilling them?
That's a Pyrex bowl, borosilicate or soda-lime glass which is safe for very high temperatures. Thermal shock could crack/shatter the bowl but only if you placed the heated bowl on a cold surface or added cold water to it. edit: That being said, you absolutely could steam it traditionally instead.
75 here today. The benefits of living near the gulf coast. I used to live in upstate NY and would grill even if there was 3 feet of snow on the ground. Sometimes you just gotta grill.
I like to eat my cauliflower raw. I am not a fan of mushy vegetables. I wonder...can you grill raw cauliflower and get the char and flavor using your technique?
Absolutely agree with you. This recipe is just too mushy, yuk. This really is an American thing. I steam mine for 1 minute to clean them thoroughly and then char grill them. Perfect every time.
I love cauliflower, but as soon as he said put it in the microwave, I turned it off! One sure way to loose viewers for a food channel is to use a microwave. 👎👎👎
@@sandrah7512 I usually just lightly toss the Cauliflower in avocado oil and then bake in the oven, but it takes longer than microwave for sure. Tasty either way!
Good grief is cauliflower the only alternative to potatoes? It's lame in the flavor department and all we see are recipes for grilling, bbqing, broiling, mashing, ect, ect. There has to be something out there in vegetable land better than the "big flower".

Any video from Dan is worth watching and trying. He never disappoints. Another great job Dan.
couldn't agree more
Dan is the entire reason I subscribed
Indeed! He's great! I wish there were way more "What's Eating Dan?"
Sheet tray, separate cauliflower into pieces, cover in Olive Oil and paprika, salt, etc -- 425 F for 40 min -- flip halfway through

This looks amazing, what a beautiful share Dan.
Thank you for this video
This turned out excellent. Even the wife loved it and she's not big on cauliflower.
Excellent tips and that looked absolutely delicious!!! Thx!
We'll be all ready for grilling season. Only six months to go!
Thanks Dan, you're the best
Happy 2022, Dan. Waiting for more videos!
Air fryer, 6 min. Perfectly roasted🤗
What temp ?
That’s baked
@@stevenbeach748 Unless I missed a lesson in Culinary School, "baked" isn't a temperature... it's a process 🤔
Exactly right. The video was GRILLED cauliflower. Air frying it is baking it.

@@invinciblebastrds2823 yeah i thought 15 minutes in the microwave sounded like limp cauliflower 🤭. I will try the 1 minute steam as well 👍🏽
Looks delicious, I love cauliflower.
100% Dan-induced click. Never considered cauliflower before.
I don't own a microwave. Do you recommend booling it the solution? Or, baking, covered in foil? If so, what temp and how long?
Thank you
I've been looking for ways to add more vegetables to my plate when I barbecue. I think I'll try it with broccoli, I love a little char on them too.
Looks fabulous!
Can I do this under the broiler as well?

Thank you so much for pronouncing cauliflower correctly. I keep hearing people pronounce it cauleeflower. Wtf? It has never been that pronunciation.
That's a good one. Might also work. for broccoli.
Looks delicious!
Yummy!

How do we do this without a microwave?
I usually pick my own cauliflower from a "U pick farm"..are the leaves on the cauliflower useable/tasty?
How do I cook them if so?
Leaves are usable. Basic suggestion is to treat them like cabbage, as durable veggie leaves.

Trevor, thanks for the information!👍🏿
I washed them and cut them up into small pieces to steam and serve with the cauliflower.
I dont like to waste anything!
Thanks!👊🏿
How about on a griddle? For those of us without a grill?
It’s January. Where is there somewhere that there’s green? Right now, in Northern Canada, we can’t see the street from our front window…
Watching this video makes me hungry, but not for cauliflower...
14 MINUTES in the microwave?? That’s so long
Can’t I just steam it for a couple minutes like I do with broccoli, before searing?
I thought he misspoke. That does seem like a long time but I'm still willing to try next time I grill.
@@clearsmashdrop5829 I’ve never microwaved anything for 14 minutes, ever.
The most convoluted method of grilling cauliflower that I’ve EVER seen. How about simply tossing the pieces in oil, salting them (the salt will now stick) and grilling them?
yes, this looks way too 'multi-step', too many pans, too many dishes involved.
thats too much work for coliflower
Step one: open up the refrigerator, grab said cauliflower. Step two, Open up garbage can. Step three throw out cauliflower and grab chicken wings
Wouldn't steaming it be safer? I can just visualize fumbling with the edges of the bowl with my thick clumsy potholders, then breaking it.
That's a Pyrex bowl, borosilicate or soda-lime glass which is safe for very high temperatures. Thermal shock could crack/shatter the bowl but only if you placed the heated bowl on a cold surface or added cold water to it.
edit: That being said, you absolutely could steam it traditionally instead.
After 14 minutes in my microwave, the cauliflower would turn to carbon and then to diamond.
Once I saw it go into the microwave for 16 mins. I knew the title was misleading.
Can I leave out the sugar?
Why remove the leaves? They are edible and delicious. Just remove the outside ones, cut any damaged ends off and leave them on.
DDD=Dream Date Dan
I've always cut whole heads into slices and then grilled the resulting "steaks."
Editing away from trimming the leaves mean we missed part of the lesson.
Thanks for,the grilling video as it’s 12 degrees outside 🙄
My husband lets no weather stop him from grilling. It's insane/gangsta. Lol

Look up charbroiled vegetables. I love doing it with cauliflower, broccoli and carrots.
Yes, I broil broccoli all the time using a cast iron pan.
I steam until soft. No microwave for me.
Microwave !!! 😱
🤔
You leave the grill open the whole time you prep the cauliflower?
Also any alternatives to the microwave?
Can you make this on a $400 Weber Grill or do you need that $8,000 Wolf Grill?
Yes, I'd do this with my $200 Charbroil gas grill.
LOL!
What about my $25 Presto electric skillet?
Attn: Stylist of ATK... For the love of cooking, please give Dan a good haircut and grooming his facial hair.
A gas grill on an upstairs balcony? Isn't that a fire hazard?
No
To Much Work! No Time For that! Come up with easy ones!!
Why is his porch clear? My deck is covered with 6" of snow. Not fair.
How to grill cauliflower. Released in January. When half of America (my half) is frozen and not grilling. WTF?
You lost me at, "Toss em in the microwave."
Might as well as broiled them in the oven in your kitchen! a gas "grill" so sad really those who fear smoke as a flavor.
