Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Line a large baking tray with nonstick baking paper. In a small bowl, mix the cheese and almonds with some seasoning and sprinkle evenly over the paper.
- Put the cauliflower in a large bowl and toss in the oil. Tip onto the tray and gently turn each floret in the coating. Roast for 20-25 mins until tender.
- Meanwhile, mix the chopped parsley, garlic and lemon zest with a little black pepper to make the gremolata.
- To serve, tip the cauliflower into a serving dish and scatter over the gremolata. Garnish with the whole parsley leaves to serve.
- Get ahead: Make the gremolata the day before and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
