This Butter Cauliflower and Chickpeas recipe is perfect for busy weeknights! Start by tossing cauliflower florets with avocado oil and a mix of spices including cumin, garam masala, curry powder, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt. You can either roast these in an air fryer at 425 degrees for 20 minutes or in the oven for 30 minutes until they’re beautifully golden and crispy.
While your cauliflower is roasting, prepare the mint cilantro sauce. Simply blend mint leaves, cilantro, mayo or Greek yogurt, a clove of garlic, a bit of jalapeño for some kick (if you like), salt, and lime juice until smooth. This sauce should be creamy and vibrant, perfect for drizzling.
Next, heat up a jar of butter chicken sauce in a large skillet and stir in a can of drained and rinsed chickpeas. For a bit of fun texture, smash the chickpeas slightly. Once the cauliflower is done roasting, add it to the skillet, mixing everything together well.
Serve this savory butter cauliflower and chickpeas over a bed of fluffy rice, topped generously with the mint sauce. If you’re feeling extra, add some pickled onions for an additional pop of flavor. There you have it—a delicious, comforting meal that’s easy to make and sure to please! Enjoy your dinner!
