With earthy cauliflower, sweet and nutty cashew and a deep umami note from the Parmesan, this quick roasted cauliflower recipe is easy yet impressive.

- 1 lime, zest and juice only
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil or nut oil

Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil and add the cauliflower. Blanch for 2-3 minutes, then drain. Put a tea towel over the steaming cauliflower and leave to dry for a few minutes.
