How to Make It

01
Prep and spice

Cut cauliflower into small florets. Drain chickpeas and dry thoroughly. Toss both with olive oil, cumin, turmeric, salt, and smoked paprika.

02
Roast at 220°C

Spread on large baking tray — no overcrowding. Roast 30 minutes until deeply golden and edges are caramelised. The char is non-negotiable.

03
Make tahini dressing

Whisk tahini, lemon juice, garlic, water until smooth and drizzleable. Season generously.

04
Assemble warm

Place greens on platter. Top with warm cauliflower and chickpeas. Scatter parsley. Drizzle tahini liberally. Serve immediately while warm.
