Tandoori Chickpea and Cauliflower Bowl with Crunchy Almond Olive Oil Topping

Servings 2

Ingredients
  

  • 1 14 oz. can of chickpeas
  • 1 tsp tandoori masala
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 small head of cauliflower
  • ½ butternut squash, cubed
  • ½ tsp red chili powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp rosemary
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ cup sliced almonds
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 bunch of kale
  • ½ sliced avocado
  • ¼ cup sliced kalamata olives

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 F.
  • Cut butternut squash into cubes and cut cauliflower into florets. Keep in mind that they probably will not fit on the same baking sheet, so I prepared them separately!
  • Brush with olive oil and add half of the quantities listed of the following: red chili powder, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, rosemary, and salt to taste. Do the same for the cauliflower.
  • Bake in the oven for 20 minutes at 400 F or air fry or 12 minutes at 400 F. (See next step before doing so.)
  • For the chickpeas, marinate with tandoori masala, garlic powder, salt to taste, and a drizzle of avocado oil. Roast in oven for 25 min at 400 F (on the same sheet as either the butternut squash or cauliflower) or air fryer for 12 min at 400 F.
  • Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and let it brown for a minute. Then add sliced almonds and lemon juice. Take the pan off the heat once the almonds are nice and toasted.
  • Assemble! Start with chopped kale, cauliflower, and butternut squash. Then add chickpeas, olives, and avocado. Finally add the almond olive oil topping for that extra glam factor!
