Steps
Roasting Cauliflower and Chickpeas:
- Preheat the oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C).
β - Dry the chickpeas, then spread them on a baking tray. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of oil and a pinch of salt. Toss to coat, then bake for 20 minutes.
β - After cooling for 5-10 minutes, sprinkle chickpeas with 1 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon coriander. Toss to coat, then bake for an additional 10 minutes or until mostly crispy.
β - On a separate tray, toss cauliflower pieces with the remaining seasonings, a generous pinch of salt, and 1-2 tablespoons of oil. Spread them out on the tray, placing the florets cut side down. Bake for 20 minutes, toss, then return to bake for another 10-15 minutes.
β
Preparing Quick Pickled Onions:
- In a bowl, combine sliced red onion, grated garlic, lime zest and juice, red wine vinegar, maple syrup (if using), minced cilantro, and a pinch of salt. Toss to coat, then refrigerate.
β
Making Chipotle Yogurt Sauce:
- Place chipotle peppers, plant-based yogurt, vegan mayo (or more yogurt), lime juice and zest, maple syrup, grated garlic, minced cilantro, and a generous pinch of salt in a small blender cup. Blend until combined. Alternatively, finely mince the chipotle peppers and whisk all ingredients in a bowl. Add water if needed to adjust consistency.
