Roasted Cauliflower and Chickpeas with Mustard and Parsley

Course Side Dish
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 1 (14-ounce) can chickpeas rinsed, drained, and dried in a kitchen towel
  • 1 head of cauliflower outer leaves removed and discarded, cut into bite-sized florets
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • Coarse sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon seeded mustard
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup chopped Italian parsley

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400oF and set the rack in the middle.
  • Toss the chickpeas and cauliflower together in a large roasting pan with 3 tablespoons of olive oil and a big pinch of salt. Roast, stirring now and then, until everything is dark brown and the cauliflower is quite soft, about 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together both mustards, vinegar, and ¼ cup of olive oil with a big pinch of salt and a few healthy grinds of black pepper. While the chickpeas and cauliflower are still warm, toss them with the mustard dressing and the parsley. Serve warm or at room temperature.
