Method

01

Roast the chickpeas and cauliflower

Heat the oven to 375°F. Toss the chickpeas with the harissa and spread on a baking sheet. Toss the cauliflower with 2 teaspoons olive oil and the pepper on a second sheet. Roast both 10 to 15 minutes, until the chickpeas are lightly crisp and the cauliflower is lightly browned.

02

Cook the quinoa

While the vegetables roast, microwave the frozen quinoa according to the package instructions until hot and fluffy.

03

Build the bowl

Plate a serving of quinoa, the roasted cauliflower, and the harissa chickpeas. Add a dollop of Greek yogurt, then drizzle with olive oil and a squeeze of lemon and top with parsley.

Tips

NotePat the chickpeas dry so the harissa clings and they crisp in the oven.

NoteSpoon the yogurt on last so it stays cool against the warm spices.

NoteUse more harissa if your crowd likes it fiery.
