Roasted Cauliflower and Chickpeas with Mustard and Parsley
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.
