Instructions

Preheat & Prep Sheet Pan

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat.

Season Vegetables & Chickpeas

  1. In a large bowl, combine chickpeas, cauliflower florets, and potato wedges. Drizzle with olive oil.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together all roasting seasonings (paprika, garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, pepper).
  3. Sprinkle seasoning blend over vegetables and chickpeas; toss until everything is evenly coated.

Roast

  1. Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan (use two pans if needed to avoid crowding).
  2. Roast 45–60 minutes, tossing halfway through, until potatoes are tender and crisp and cauliflower is golden.

Make Tahini Herb Dressing

  1. While the veggies roast, whisk tahini, vegan yogurt, pickle juice, chili sauce, and dressing seasonings in a bowl.
  2. Add water, 1 Tbsp at a time, whisking until smooth and pourable. Adjust seasoning.

Plate & Serve

  1. Spoon a generous pool of dressing onto each plate or shallow bowl.
  2. Top with hot roasted vegetables and chickpeas.
  3. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro (optional) and an extra drizzle of chili sauce.

Notes

  • Hands-Off: Over 75% of cook time is unattended roasting—perfect for multitasking.

  • Make-Ahead: Dress vegetables and chickpeas with seasoning up to 2 hours ahead; roast just before serving.

  • Variations: Swap sweet potatoes or Brussels sprouts for cauliflower.

  • Storage: Leftovers keep 3 days in the fridge; drizzle more dressing and reheat in a warm oven.
