Roasted Cauliflower with Herby Yogurt and Curried Garlic Chickpeas
I was inspired by Quebec’s purple cauliflower to concoct this delicious and over-the-top recipe for you! For me, roasted cauliflower is really the best way to serve it. I wanted as many textures as possible in this recipe, so I decided to serve it with a super-fresh herby yogurt and curried garlic chickpeas! It’s a recipe that makes a perfect main meal when served with dairy-free naan bread or pita bread! Otherwise, I like to serve it as a side dish too!
