I had couple of Tbsp of Lebanese seven-spice blend and half cauliflower sitting in my refrigerator. Evil side of me went ‘Fry them’ and the Good side went ‘Roast them’. I decided to listen to my good side for once. Added left over chickpeas, spinach and again like my usual salads-No dressing required.
You need:
- Cauliflower florets-broken into bits-3 cups
- Boiled Chickpeas-2/3 cup
- Baby Spinach- 50 gms
- Rice bran Oil-1 Tbsp
- Lebanese 7 Spice Blend -2.5 tsp
- Lemon juice-1 Tbsp
- Red Onion-1/4-sliced lengthwise
- Salt-to taste
- Garlic-1 clove (grated)
- Almond Feta-cubed 1/4 cup [optional]
Method:
- In a pan, add oil, add the spice blend, salt and let it roast for a minute on low flame.
- Add cauliflower florets, chickpeas salt and toss well.
- Transfer to a baking tray and roast for 20 minutes.
- Flip and let it roast for another 15 minutes
- After the 15 minute mark, remove sprinkle grated garlic and another 10 minutes until cauliflower is well done 🙂
- Chickpeas will be crispy-it adds a crouton texture to the salad
- In a salad bowl, add chopped baby spinach, onions, roasted cauliflower & chickpeas, lemon juice, toss them together
- Add Almond feta, give them a gentle mix and serve 🙂
