Roasted Cauliflower & Chickpeas with Dijon Vinaigrette

If you’re looking for a perfect side dish, this Roasted Cauliflower & Chickpeas with Dijon Vinaigrette will be your new go-to! All you need is one pan and minimal effort to create a delicious, healthy dish.

This is truly one of the easiest and tastiest dishes that is always a hit in my house. If you are looking to up your game on the roasted veggies, then this will do the trick.

I know a lot of people think of cauliflower as boring and bland, but I promise you can make it stand out when you roast it to perfection and put a delicious dressing on it! In this dish, it is crispy, flavorful, and so versatile.

I added chickpeas to the mix because they add a perfect crunch when they’re roasted. It also adds a hearty element to a simple veggie dish by giving it extra protein and fiber.

And can we talk about adding a dressing or sauce to our roasted veggie dishes from now on?! It takes it up about 12 notches and makes it so much more interesting! This dijon vinaigrette is to die for, and I put it on pretty much everything from veggies, to salads, and even use it as a dip. You only need very minimal ingredients that I’m betting you already have in your fridge and pantry.

I love this type of dish because you can serve it as a side dish, put it over rice, or top it on a crunchy salad. It is versatile, quick, and customizable. Feel free to use any type of dressing or vinaigrette you want, but trust me, you want this one.
