ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- Salt, To Taste
- 1 cup pistachios, roasted and unsalted
- 1 cup mint
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 2 Roasted chili peppers
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400ºF and set a cooling rack inside a baking sheet. This helps roast the entire cauliflower from the bottom up as well as the top down.
Step 2
Coat the cauliflower with 1/4 cup olive oil and salt. Bake for 25 minutes or until tender.
Step 3
Meanwhile, make the pistachio sauce: in a high-powered blender, blend the pistachios, mint, lemon juice, and remaining olive oil together until consistency is similar to pesto.
Step 4
Coat the roasted cauliflower with pistachio sauce. Top with roasted chili peppers.
