Roasted Cauliflower and Chickpeas

Roasted cauliflower and chickpeas is an easy and yummy recipe in which cauliflower and chickpeas are coated with Indian spices and roasted until golden brown. The flavor of Indian spices including curry powder, cumin powder, red chilly and turmeric with lemon juice and zest makes it so good that you cannot resist it. The lemon zest just bump up the flavor of curry powder. It goes perfectly with grilled chicken or fish but for me I can just eat it as it is.
If you have never tried roasted chickpea before, you are missing out. Chickpeas coated with curry powder, when roasted becomes kind of crispy but still meaty at the center.
