Add water to roasting dish. Cover dish completely with foil and roast for 1 hour. Uncover and roast for a further 25 minutes or until browned and stalk is tender when pierced with a small knife.
Sprinkle parmesan over the top of the cauliflower and return to oven for 10 minutes or until melted.
Meanwhile, to make dressing, whisk all ingredients in a small jug.
Remove cauliflower from oven and transfer to serving dish. Pour dressing over and sprinkle with parsley to serve.

Tip: Cauliflower can be roasted up to 4 hours ahead and reheated in oven. Drizzle over dressing just before serving.
