Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Cut the cauliflower into small florets and slice the fennel bulbs into wedges, reserving the cauliflower leaves and fennel tops.
  2. Scatter the veg over a baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, sprinkle with the fennel seeds and season. Roast for 25 mins, then tip into an ovenproof dish. Chop the cauliflower leaves and fennel tops and tuck between the roasted veg.
  3. In a food processor, blitz the sourdough slice into breadcrumbs, then mix with the chopped rosemary, hard cheese, lemon zest, 2 tbsp olive oil and seasoning.
  4. Sprinkle over the veg, along with the fennel tops and leftover rosemary. Bake for 10-15 mins, until crisp and golden.
