Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 415˚F
  2. Make the Ginger Yogurt Sauce: combine all the ingredients for the sauces, stir well and refrigerate until the cauliflower is ready.
  3. Make the marinade for the cauliflower and chickpeas: Combine all the ingredients for the marinade in a large bowl, whisk together, add a tbsp of water if too thick.
  4. Add the chopped cauliflower to the same bowl and coat each piece with the marinade. Spread out on a 13x9 baking sheet, making room for the chickpeas on one end.
  5. In the same bowl, add the chickpeas and stir with the dregs of the marinade in the bowl. Add to the baking sheet next to the cauliflower in an even layer.
  6. Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes, turning half way until the cauliflower is tender and the chickpeas have some crisp.
  7. In the same bowl used for the marinade, add the dressing ingredients and a pinch of sea salt and whisk.
  8. To serve, add the yogurt to the bowl and swirl around. Top with the roasted cauliflower; sprinkle the roast chickpeas. Spoon a tbsp of the dressing over the top. Garnish with pickled onions, fresh dill and pomegranate seeds.
