Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Pat dry the chickpeas, then place on a large baking sheet along with the cauliflower, one tablespoon of oil, salt, pepper, garlic, cumin, paprika, oregano, cinnamon and cayenne pepper. Use your hands and rub the spices into the chickpeas and cauliflower until well coated. Place in the oven for 25-30 minutes, until cauliflower is tender and chickpeas are crispy.
