Make the Pistachio and Lemon Garnish
- Place the nuts in a small ziplock bag and smash them into large chunks with the back of a large spoon.
- Zest the lemon and place in a small bowl. Juice half of that lemon and place in bowl with zest.
- Add pistachios, cranberries, rosemary, olive oil, salt, and pepper to the bowl and mix.
- Add more salt and lemon juice to taste.
- This tastes best if it rests at least 30 minutes and is even better the next day.
Make the Roasted Whole Cauliflower
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- Add 1 ½ inches to a large pot of water and bring to a simmer.
- Level stem of cauliflower with a knife and remove any tough leaves.
- Place whole cauliflower in simmering water covered and cook for 7-9 minutes depending on size of cauliflower.
- Remove cauliflower and let cool 10 minutes on an elevated wire rack on a sheet pan lined with parchment or aluminum foil (for easy clean up).
- Rub cauliflower with olive oil and add salt and pepper.
- Bake ~ 30 - 35 minutes depending on size or until browned and caramelized on the top and a fork goes easily through the top.
