Whole Roasted Spiced Cauliflower

I recently ate at Laser Wolf, an Israeli restaurant in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and their Shawarma Spiced Cauliflower entree was out of bounds! It inspired me to make a copy-cat version and this is what I came up with. No doubt different from what I enjoyed at Laser Wolf, yet quite delicious in its own right.

Spiced Roasted Chickpeas

Roasted chickpeas are always on hand in my house, as they add flavor, texture and good nutrition (hello fiber and plant-based protein) to so many dishes. I particularly like this shawarma-spiced option, as this spice blend is rich with earthy, warming and sweet-spiced notes.

Moroccan Quinoa Veggie Bowl

I can eat this dish for any meal, any day of the week. It contains the perfect combination of ingredients in my opinion--roasted cauliflower, sweet potato and red onion along with quinoa, kale and chickpeas. All brought together in a pan sautéed with olive oil spiced with garlic, cinnamon, coriander, cumin and ginger.⁠
