The Cauliflower
- First, start off by preheating your oven to 350F.
- Peel the outer leaves of the cauliflower and cut off most of the stalk, but leave the head intact.
- Rub olive oil all over it and get into the nooks and crannies.
- Cover it with salt and pepper and then put it in a dish or on a baking sheet.
- Cover with tin foil or a lid and roast for about 80 minutes, with the last 20 uncovered.
Chimichurri
- While the cauliflower is roasting, throw the following ingredients into a food processor or a high-speed blender: parsley, cilantro, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, red onion.
- Process until smooth and taste to adjust seasoning.
- When the cauliflower is done, pour the chimichurri all over the head and serve!
