Roasted Cauliflower & Chickpea Tray Bake

Ingredients

Note: feel free to be creative/flexible with your choice of seasonings. The ones I've chosen below are my favourite.

• 1 large head of cauliflower, trimmed and separated into florets

• 2 cups canned or cooked chickpeas drained if canned

• 2-3 gloves of crushed garlic

• ½ teaspoon turmeric

• ½ teaspoon paprika 

• 2 tablespoon olive oil

• Salt and ground black pepper to taste

  
  
  
  
  
  

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C. In a foil-lined baking sheet, add all of the seasonings, cauliflower and chickpeas.

2. Spread the cauliflower and chickpeas evenly in a single layer of the sheet. Don't overcrowd the baking sheet or the vegetables won't roast, they'll steam.

3. Bake for 40 minutes, stirring once, halfway through, to ensure the chickpeas and cauliflower get roasted evenly.

4. Serve with your meat/fish of choice. Sometimes I even add a leafy green for the cauliflower and chickpeas to sit on once toasted.
