I LOVE roasted cauliflower dishes and this one is simply addictive. So much flavour! Fresh and delish!!

One medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
1 can chickpeas, skins removed (optional but I find they roast better when removed)
2.5 tbsp honey, divided (use agave for vegan)
3 tbsp olive oil, divided
¾ tbsp paprika
¾ tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 avocado, chopped
½ cup chopped parsley
⅓ cup red onion, minced
Juice of ½ lime
¼ cup Sunflower seeds
1 Preheat the oven to 425. (2)

Preheat the oven to 180.

Add the cauliflower and chickpeas to a bowl, toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1.5 tbsp honey, paprika, garlic powder and salt. Toss to combine.

Spread the mixture onto a sheet pan, roast for 30-35 minutes, until tender and brown.

Add the roasted cauliflower and chickpeas to a bowl, add the avocado, parsley, onion, lime juice, the remainder of the olive oil and the remainder of the honey. Toss to combine.

Transfer to a plate and top with sunflower seeds.

Enjoy 😊

Cauliflower is low in calories but high in essential nutrients. It's a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin B6, folate, and potassium.

Cauliflower is a good source of dietary fibre which is important for digestive health. Fibre can promote regular bowel movements, help prevent constipation, and support a healthy gut microbiome.

Cauliflower contains various antioxidants, including vitamin C, manganese, and phytonutrients like glucosinolates (mainly found in cruciferous plants) and flavonoids (found naturally in fruits and vegetables). Antioxidants help protect cells from oxidative stress and may reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
