Ingredients
Scale
1 Tbsp. curry powder
2 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 large head cauliflower, chopped into florets
1 (15-oz.) can chickpeas, rinsed, drained, and patted dry
2 cups cooked white basmati rice (or grain of choice)
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves
1/4 cup tahini (sesame seed paste)
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp. minced fresh garlic
1/4 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. each kosher salt and black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a bowl, mix curry powder, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Toss cauliflower florets with 2 tablespoons olive oil and half of the spice mix; spread on a baking sheet.
Coat chickpeas with remaining olive oil and sprinkle with the rest of the spice mix; spread on another baking sheet.
Roast for 30 minutes, shaking the chickpeas halfway through; remove them when golden brown while allowing cauliflower to roast for an extra 5-10 minutes.
Blend cilantro, parsley, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, pepper, and warm water until smooth for the sauce.
To serve, layer rice in bowls and top with roasted cauliflower and chickpeas; drizzle with Green Tahini Sauce.
