Directions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Juice and zest one lemon and set aside. Cut the other lemon into wedges for garnishing, and set aside.

- Lay out cauliflower in a single layer, on a non-stick baking sheet pan (reserve the bowl).
- Roast for about 12- 15 minutes or until just tender.
- Meanwhile whisk the lemon zest and the pesto together in the reserved bowl. Add additional pesto to taste.
- Remove the cauliflower from the baking pan with a spatula and add it to the pesto bowl. Toss gently. Serve immediately with lemon wedges for squeezing.
