Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups cauliflower florets Fresh or frozen
  • 1 can chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil For roasting and flavor
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric Adds color and anti-inflammatory benefits
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger Brings warmth and zest

  • to taste pepper
  • Cooked couscous or your favorite grain Quinoa or brown rice are great alternatives
  • Fresh cilantro A bright, herbal topping
  • ½ cup plain hummus Creaminess that complements the dish
  • 1 whole lemon juiced
  • 1 teaspoon honey Balances the flavors beautifully
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated for an extra boost of flavor
  • to taste Kosher salt Adjust to your preference
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons cold water To achieve the desired consistency in the hummus dressing

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). A hot oven is key for achieving crispy roasted cauliflower and chickpeas.
  • In a mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower florets and chickpeas with olive oil, turmeric, ground ginger, garlic powder, kosher salt, and pepper. Ensure everything is well-coated.
  • Spread the cauliflower and chickpea mixture evenly on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and golden brown, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the plain hummus, lemon juice, honey, grated fresh ginger, and a pinch of kosher salt and pepper. If the dressing is too thick, add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
  • Start with a base of cooked couscous or your favorite grain in each serving bowl. Top with the roasted cauliflower and chickpeas, drizzle over the hummus dressing, and finish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra spice!
  • Use quinoa or brown rice for a gluten-free option.
