Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon shawarma seasoning
  • 1 cup basmati rice
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup tahini

Instructions

For added flavor, marinate chickpeas ahead of time. Ensure even roasting for the best texture.
