1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
2. Trim and remove the outer stem and hard leaves of the cauliflower. 
3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Place whole head of cauliflower in the pot and boil for 7-10 minutes. Remove and shake off excess water. 
4. Place the cauliflower head onto a sheet tray and and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle generously with olive oil to coat the entire outside of the florets.
