How to Prepare Tikka Masala Cauliflower and Chickpeas [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Preheat your oven to 425°F and spray or drizzle the pan with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place your cauliflower, beans and garlic in a bowl. Add about 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of your Tikki Masala spice mixture. Toss to coat well. Then pour the mixture out onto your prepared pan and evenly distribute.
Bake for 10 minutes then toss. Bake for an additional 12 minutes or until golden. Top with parsley and salt if needed. Serve with rice, your favorite protein or devour.

Notes

This would also work on just chickpeas for a snack. Use two cans of drained beans – follow the recipe and bake until crunchy.
