Ingredients
- 2 small heads of cauliflower (I used a purple and green one)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon + 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 cup canned chickpeas , rinsed and drained
- 1 teaspoon za'atar seasoning
- garnish: fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C.
- Wash the cauliflower and remove the core. Cut the cauliflower in florets and blitz in a food processor until fine. Transfer the cauliflower in a bowl, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and give it a quick mix. Transfer it on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and lay as flat as possible.
- Put the chickpeas in a bowl, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil and the za'atar seasoning. Put the chickpeas on another baking tray lined with parchment paper - lay flat and bake in the oven, together with the cauliflower rice for about 25-30 minutes. Keep an eye on them and stir around the cauliflower rice a couple of times when it's getting brown. The chickpeas are ready when they are crispy.
- Once everything is ready to serve, put the cauliflower rice on a plate, add the za'atar chickpeas on top and garnish with fresh parsley.
