Roasted Cauliflower & Chickpeas Recipe

February 29, 2020

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I know I sound dramatic but cabbages are just… the best? I used to hate them as a kid but it was mostly because I was eating them boiled and bland, and it made sense. But spices! Oh boy, spicy cauliflower is really on my top top top of the top lists. And this roasted cauliflower and chickpea recipe is at the top of all those lists. So be prepared.

Ingredients to cook this roasted cauliflower recipe

The ingredient list for this recipe is very straightforward: cauliflower and chickpeas (plus obviously, a couple of spices here & there)

  • Cauliflower: I mean, it’s the basic ingredient.
  • Chickpeas: Same as above. Your Chickpeas need to be cooked, so if you have dry Chickpeas make sure you cook them before putting them in the oven.
  • Spices: I used Chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, pepper and salt. And olive oil, always olive oil.
  • Sides: Quinoa, rice, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, most carbs will go well with this recipe.
Two ingredients for this recipe: cauliflower & chickpeas

How to make this roasted cauliflower recipe?

Preparing the cauliflower and the chickpeas

Let’s start by preheating the oven at 210ºC. Then, we are going to parch an oven tray and set aside. Cut the cauliflower into quarters, they need to still have some its shape but if you cut them too big they will not cook through in the middle. Also, try to cut them as evenly as possible so that they all roast similarly.

In a large bowl, dump the cauliflower and the chickpeas. Mix well. Add all the spices and mix. Then add the olive oil and toss the cauliflower and chickpea bowl thoroughly. Now, place the cauliflower and the chickpeas on the parched tray evenly. Try to avoid having several florets on top of each other, spread them as much as you can on one layer (otherwise they won’t roast).

Roasting time

Cook in the oven for around 30 minutes, stirring once around 15 minutes. The cauliflower should be golden and crispy on the edges! Don’t hesitate to cook some florets a bit more if they haven’t golden properly. Serve the cauliflower and the chickpeas with the side dish of your choice. We had some leftover wild rice so that was our side. You can add some extra sour cream if you want, but I think the dish is great on its own as it is.

Alternatives to the roasted cauliflower

If you want to change a bit the dish, or you don’t like cauliflower, you can totally switch it for broccoli or any other cabbage. Carrots, sweet potatoes, potatoes, most veggies would work well in this recipe, just the time would be a bit higher or lower depending on what vegetable you are cooking.

The chickpeas can totally be left out of the recipe, and they an also be switched by any other beans. I think Chickpeas work the best when roasted compared to other beans, but you can totally try other beans!

📢 This is my first cauliflower recipe but if you want to check other recipes, you can check out my healthy smoked tofu bowl with vegetables (tons of broccoli) right here. Also, I roasted a lot of veggies, catalan-style, in a previous recipe as well.

😋 What is your favorite vegetable to roast in the oven? I enjoy cauliflower a lot but roasted peppers are also to die for. Tell me all in the comments!

  • 1 cuillères à soupe d’ail en poudre

4. Mettre le chou-fleur et pois-chiches assaisonnés dans la plaque du four. Faire attention [à tout mettre dans une seule couche pour bien rôtir le chou-fleur.

5. Cuire pendant 15 minutes puis retourner le chou-fleur et pois-chiches. Continuer à cuire pendant 15 minutes supplémentaires.

6. Le chou-fleur devrait être doré et croustillant sur les côtés. S’il reste quelques fleurons pas trop bien rôtis, continuer à les cuire un peu plus.

7. Servir le chou-fleur et pois-chiches avec l’accompagnement de votre choix. Nous avons dégusté notre plat avec du riz sauvage.

Managing tofucado

I haven’t been able to sit down and work on tofucado as much as I wanted – hence the lack of posts for an entire week. It’s been a bit hectic and on top of that, I have also been procrastinating a lot. Last weekend, I managed to sit down and organize the next month and all the publications. Tofucado is my little project and I love all the time spending on it, and I want to continue doing so. However, it is sometimes hard to balance my work life with it, because both require a lot of my time. Still, I hope you enjoy the recipes and your time here!

I am so excited to read these books but except the "for the throne" book, I don't really know what they are about. 

💬 Do you usually buy books just because of the cover?
📚Book review: A haunted road atlas by @theemsch 📚Book review: A haunted road atlas by @theemschulz and @xtineschiefer (podcast @atwwdpodcast) 

I gotta say I was way too excited about this book because it is the first time I can actually buy something from my favourite podcasters without having to pay +50€ of shipping. But that's just a side note. 

🌍What is this book about? As the title says, it's a guide of haunted places in the US :  a mix of paranormal and true crime stories told by Em and Christine and other cool / haunted places to visit in each city/state. 

👻The stories, while obviously dark, are told in a funny way and it goes by like a breeze. I read it like a normal book, but you can totally read it one state at a time and it'd be even greater.

The book is quite original because well, there is a million road trip guides out there but few like this one! 

🔥I'm a huge fan of ATWWD so i may be a bit biased, but nonetheless this was great and entertaining and I really want to do a freaking road trip now!

Some very good books but some very bad ones too in January. My fave read was "Le refuges" by Jérôme Loubry, such a Great thriller. 
The worst was house of accidents, it could have been SO GOOD, yet it was...so bad.

How many did you read this month? And which one was your favourite?

✨Meat & veggie broth✨ Quick recipe with the In ✨Meat & veggie broth✨
Quick recipe with the Instant pot today : this is one of my favourite things to make because you get : awesome broth, awesome meat and veggies, and tons of possible meals out of it. 

To make this easy broth you will need : 
- 2 to 3 different types of meat : I usually get jamón (but in France it's very costly to find good one), chicken legs, beef ribs or beef meatballs). For this one I used the chicken legs, beef ribs and pork belly. 
- veggies: all you want, everyone is welcomed !! I mainly use cabbage, carrots, leek, celery, potatoes. Sometimes I put garlic in there. 
- chickpeas 
- salt and pepperrrrr
- i use a bit of soy sauce to give an extra quick as well. 

Now, put everything in the instant pot, put water till almost the max limit and close the lid. If you making it with meat, go 1h + natural release (up to two hours).
