• 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets
• 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric

• Variations: Add other spices like garam masala for an extra depth of flavor or throw in some red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
• Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain the crunch of the chickpeas.
