If you’re after an interesting, spiced side dish to go with your roast or would like to have a delicious vegan meal, try this baked cauliflower with chickpeas! It’s so easy to make and it’s so delicious yet filling! You can serve it with a dollop of yogurt or raita, if you like - I served it with brown basmati rice.
