Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Bring a large pan of water to the boil and simmer the cauliflower florets for 1 min, then drain well and set aside to cool for 5 mins.
- Toss the florets and the leaves in a bowl with 1½ tbsp oil, the cumin seeds and chillies. Season and spread out in a roasting tin. Roast for 15-20 mins, turning halfway, until tender and golden in places.
- Meanwhile, mix the orange juice with the remaining oil and the garlic, then season.
- To serve, spoon the dressing over the roasted florets and leaves, then scatter with the orange zest, parsley and almonds.
- Tip: Blanching the cauliflower helps it cook evenly, but you can just roast it for 25 mins until the stems are tender.
