1. Make the chile oil:in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the olive oil, canola oil, garlic and salt. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook until the garlic is a light golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the aleppo chile and paprika. Cool to room temperature. It can be made ahead and stored at room temperature for up to a month.

step 1

2. Make the cauliflower:preheat the oven to 400f and heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, or if grilling, prepare a grill for medium heat.

step 2

3. Cut the whole head of cauliflower into-inch-thick slices. Coat with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Place the cauliflower slices in the cast-iron pan in a single layer and sear until lightly charred, about 4 minutes. Flip the cauliflower over and transfer the pan to the oven. Cook until the cauliflower is tender and caramelized, 6 to 8 minutes. (if grilling, place the cauliflower slices on the grill grate in a single layer. Cover and cook, flipping halfway through the cooking process, until each side has a nice char and the cauliflower is tender, 10 to 15 minutes.).

step 3

4. Remove from the skillet or grill and toss with the parsley and chile oil. The cauliflower will naturally break into smaller pieces as it is tossed. Serve with extra chile oil on the side.
