    1/2 c Extra-virgin olive oil
    1/2 ts Kosher salt; more as needed
    1/3 c Olives; crushed, pitted,

    1 1/2 tb Fresh lemon juice; more to

    1/8 ts Red-pepper flakes; more as

    4 oz Pancetta or bacon, in 1/8"

    Set oven @ 425ºF/218ºC.

    Place cauliflower on a rimmed baking sheet and toss with
    1/4 cup olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt until well
    coated. Roast for 15 minutes.

    In a small bowl, whisk together olives, garlic, lemon
    juice, ? teaspoon red-pepper flakes and a large pinch of
    salt. Drizzle in the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil,
    whisking well.

    After the cauliflower has roasted for 15 minutes, add
    pancetta and cumin seeds to pan and gently mix to
    combine. Sprinkle Parmesan on top and roast for another
    15 to 20 minutes, until cauliflower is tender, the
    pancetta rendered, and cheese is golden brown and
    crunchy.

    Spoon olive dressing all over roasted cauliflower while
    still hot and toss to combine. Taste, and add more salt,
    red-pepper flakes or lemon juice, if needed. Scatter
    parsley over the top before serving.
