How To Make Roasted Cauliflower and Avocado Cream Pitas [Vegan]

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F, and line a large baking sheet with a Silpat mat or parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss cauliflower, oil and spices to coat. Place coated cauliflower on one half of the lined baking sheet. In the same bowl, toss dry chickpeas, with oil and spices to coat.
  3. Place coated chickpeas on the other half of the baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, stir and continue baking for another 15 minutes or until chickpeas have a slight crunch to them and all ingredients are nicely golden brown.
  4. While cauliflower and chickpeas cook, combine all avocado cream ingredients together in a blender and blend until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  5. When cauliflower and chickpeas are done, heat pitas in a microwave until warm.
  6. Layer, pita, avocado cream, chickpeas, cauliflower and red onion. Then devour.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Simply reheat cauliflower and chickpeas (the microwave method works just fine) and assemble as you did before.
