Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) cauliflower florets, bite-sized
- 1 lb (450g) sweet potato, peeled and cubed into ½ inch (1.2cm) pieces
- 1 can (15 oz / 425g) chickpeas, drained and patted dry
- 3 tbsp (45ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp (5g) smoked paprika
- 1 tsp (5g) garlic powder
- 1 tsp (5g) kosher salt
- ½ tsp (3g) cracked black pepper
- ⅓ cup (80g) runny tahini
- 2 tbsp (30ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp (15ml) maple syrup
- 3 tbsp (45ml) warm water
- 1 clove (5g) garlic, minced
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pat the drained chickpeas dry with a paper towel to ensure maximum crispness.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cauliflower, sweet potatoes, and chickpeas. Pour over olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
- Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded.
- Roast for 20 minutes, then remove the pan and toss the vegetables with a spatula.
- Return to the oven for another 10 minutes until edges are browned and cauliflower is charred.
- While vegetables roast, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
- Slowly whisk in warm water one tablespoon at a time until the sauce reaches a velvety, pourable consistency.
- Transfer roasted vegetables to a serving bowl and drizzle with the lemon-tahini sauce.
