Roasted chickpeas are not only a super nutritious, healthy snack but also the star of this super simple, protein and fiber-packed cauliflower bowl!
Harissa Roasted Chickpeas And Cauliflower Bowl
We love chickpeas. They're little nutritional powerhouses high in plant based protein, fiber, potassium, magnesium zinc and B vitamins. They're easy to prepare and super versatile. You can roast them, boil them, eat them straight out of the can and even use them in sweet recipes (chocolate chip chickpea cookie dough anyone?).
Roasted Chickpeas
Roasted chickpeas are one of our favorite go-to snacks when the kids are hungry and don't know what they want. We like to load them with spices like turmeric, cumin, paprika and a touch of salt and stick them in the oven for a few minutes until they dry out slightly. Check out one of our favorites dinner salads HERE
For this cauliflower bowl, we added harissa and baked them together with the cauliflower and tomatoes, for a quick and easy dinner.
Serve this Harissa roasted chickpeas and cauliflower bowl along with our quinoa and pomegranate salad with orange tahini dressing for a complete meal (prepare the quinoa while the chickpeas and vegetables bake in the oven to save time!)

Marilyn says
This sounds good, I am anxious to try it. Can you use fresh cauliflower?
Vicky & Ruth says
Yes, you can absolutely use fresh cauliflower. It may take longer to roast, so we suggest that you roast the cauliflower in one pan and the rest of the ingredients in another pan. After 45 minutes, check if the cauliflower is ready, if not leave it in the oven and remove the pan with the chickpeas and tomatoes. Let us know how you like it!
