Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 2

Prepare the Shawarma Spice Mix and set aside.

Step 3

Start the quinoa (or rice) in your Instant Pot, rice maker or on the stovetop depending on which method you are using.  You can also purchase frozen quinoa or frozen rice and microwave just before serving.

Step 4

Place cauliflower florets, sliced bell pepper, sliced red onion and dried chickpeas on a half sheet baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, maple syrup and sprinkle the spice mixture overtop.  Toss well using two spoons to fully and evenly coat all the sheet pan ingredients.  Spread everything into one even layer and avoid overlapping where possible.

Step 5

Place the sheet pan on a middle rack of the preheated oven and cook for 20 minutes.  Remove the sheet pan from the oven and use tongs to toss everything well to ensure even cooking on all side.  Cook another 20 minutes.  Remove from oven.

Step 6

Serve the sheet pan meal hot overtop the cooked quinoa or rice.  Serve with hummus, tzatziki sauce, tahini sauce, fresh parsley and/or vegan feta cheese.  You can also serve with tomatoes, cucumbers and/or red onion.

Step 7

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
