Curried Cauliflower and Chickpeas

As a recovering cauliflower-hater, I am enjoying coming up with new ways to enjoy it. Here is a laughable simple variation, that is both simple and super healthy. Combining chickpeas and cauliflower is a great way to whip up a protein and fiber packed dinner. Curry powder provides fabulous flavor without added calories or fat. Dry roasting the chickpeas bring out their natural flavor and compliments the smoky curry and paprika. Finish with parsley and serve with some brown rice or nan. Perfect to spice up a boring weeknight.
