Roasted Cauliflower & Chickpeas with Orange Cumin
Ingredients
- 1 medium to large head of cauliflower , washed and cut into florets
- 3 cups cooked chickpeas , rinsed
- 3-4 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt & pepper
- 3-5 fresh tomatoes
- A small handful fresh cilantro or parsley leaves
Orange Cumin Dressing:
- 1.5 tsp cumin seeds , toasted & ground
- 1 tsp coriander seeds , toasted
- 1.5 cups orange juice , fresh or frozen
- 2 tsp rice wine or cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Instructions
-
Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the cauliflower, cooked chick peas and the olive oil in a large bowl. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt & some pepper and mix well until lightly coated with oil.
-
Spread in a single layer on a large un-oiled baking tray. Cook, flipping here and there until the cauliflower is browned and the chickpeas are crispy, about 40-50 minutes depending on the size of the florets. Once the chickpeas are crispy and the cauliflower is brown, remove from the oven to cool.
-
While the cauliflower mixture cooks, add the ground spices, orange juice, and vinegar to a sauce pan or cast iron skillet heat until reduced, about 5 minutes (the orange juice should be reduced to about 1/4 "“ 1/3 of the volume).
-
Remove this from the heat and place in a mixing bowl. Add the oil and mix together.
-
When the cauliflower has cooled a little, toss the mixture with all of the dressing, using your hands.
-
This can sit for a while to allow the flavors to settle, or you can serve it right away.
-
Just before serving, cut up the fresh tomatoes and toss everything together, topped with torn cilantro or parsley and plenty of fresh pepper.
