Cauliflower and Chickpea Quinoa with Tahini Drizzle


Cauliflower and Chickpea Quinoa with Tahini Drizzle



Roasting adds an earthy depth of flavor to the veggies, but you can save time by keeping them raw--just toss right into the quinoa.

Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 cups chopped cauliflower florets
  • 2/3 cup chopped onion
  • 1 (15-ounce) can organic chickpeas, rinsed, drained, and patted dry
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
