Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Trim the cauliflower: Cut the stem flush with the bottom. Cut a few slits into the core extending into the thick branches of the cauliflower (keep the florets intact). Put 3 thyme sprigs, the smashed garlic, bay leaves, coriander seeds and peppercorns on a square of cheesecloth and tie into a bundle. Combine 12 cups water, the celery, shallot, lemon zest, wine, sugar, 1/3 cup salt and the cheesecloth bundle in a pot large enough to submerge the cauliflower. Bring to a boil, whisking to dissolve the salt and sugar. Carefully add the cauliflower core-side down and cook until there is a slight resistance when pierced with a knife, about 15 minutes. (It's OK if the top of the cauliflower pops up during cooking.) Remove the cauliflower to a baking sheet.
- Meanwhile, make the garlic oil: Combine the remaining 3 thyme sprigs, the sliced garlic, olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the garlic starts browning, 3 to 5 minutes. Discard the thyme. Brush the cauliflower with half of the oil, leaving the sliced garlic behind.
- Roast the cauliflower until browned and tender, 30 to 40 minutes, brushing halfway through with the remaining garlic oil; reserve 1 teaspoon garlic oil and the sliced garlic.
- Transfer the cauliflower to a cutting board or platter using a spatula. Add the parsley to the reserved garlic oil and spoon over the cauliflower. Cut into wedges.

Tips:
- Choose the right cauliflower: Select a head of cauliflower that is compact and heavy for its size. Avoid heads with yellow or brown spots, as these may indicate bruising or spoilage.
- Cut the cauliflower into even florets: This will help them cook evenly. Cut the cauliflower into 1-2 inch florets, and try to keep them roughly the same size.
- Roast the cauliflower at high heat: This will help to caramelize the florets and give them a slightly crispy exterior. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
- Toss the cauliflower with olive oil and seasonings: This will help to coat the florets and prevent them from drying out. In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower florets, olive oil, salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.
- Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on a baking sheet: This will help them cook evenly. Don't overcrowd the baking sheet, or the cauliflower will steam instead of roast.
- Roast the cauliflower for 20-25 minutes: Or until the florets are tender and slightly browned. Keep an eye on the cauliflower while it roasts, and stir it occasionally to ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Serve the cauliflower immediately: Roasted cauliflower is best enjoyed hot or warm. You can serve it as a side dish, or add it to salads, soups, or grain bowls.
