Prepare the Romanesco
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the romanesco cauliflower into florets and rinse them under cold water. Pat dry with a kitchen towel.

Make the Lemon-Infused Olive Oil
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Toss with Olive Oil
In a large bowl, combine the romanesco florets with the lemon-infused olive oil mixture. Toss well to ensure the florets are evenly coated.

Roast the Romanesco
Spread the romanesco florets on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned.

Toast the Pistachios
While the romanesco is roasting, place the chopped pistachios in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast them for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Remove from heat.

Prepare the Breadcrumbs
In another skillet, add breadcrumbs and toast for about 5 minutes over medium heat until golden brown. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
