Method

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Meanwhile, mix the orange juice with the remaining oil and the garlic, then season.
  4. 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.
