Wash produce before use

1

Roast the cauliflower and chickpeas

Heat the oven to 450°F. Line a sheet pan [2 sheet pans] with parchment paper or foil.

  • Cut the cauliflower into 1-inch florets, discarding any leaves or thick stalks.
  • Rinse the chickpeas; pat thoroughly dry with a paper towel.

In a large bowl, combine the flour and onion-garlic-paprika blend and season generously with salt and pepper. Slowly add ¼ cup [½ cup] water and stir until a smooth batter forms. Add the cauliflower and chickpeas and toss until well coated. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cauliflower and chickpeas to the prepared sheet pan [pans]. 

Roast, stirring halfway through, until the cauliflower is tender and the coating is golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. While the cauliflower and chickpeas are roasting, prepare the salad.

2

Make the kale-cucumber salad

  • Peel the cucumber if desired; cut the cucumber into ½-inch pieces.
  • Peel and thinly slice enough onion to measure 1 cup [2 cups]. 
  • Remove any coarse stems from the kale.

In a large bowl, toss the cucumber, onion, and kale with the Italian vinaigrette; season to taste with salt and pepper. 

3

Finish the cauliflower and chickpeas

Remove the cauliflower and chickpeas from the oven, add half the cayenne pepper sauce, and toss to coat, adding more sauce if desired. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

In a small bowl, season the tahini goddess dressing to taste with salt and pepper.
