Ingredients


















Method


  • 1Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Toss dried chickpeas with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet. In a separate bowl, toss sliced bell peppers and red onion with 1 tbsp olive oil, the remaining 1/2 tsp garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread alongside chickpeas on the same or a separate baking sheet.


  • 2Roast vegetables and chickpeas for 15-20 minutes, or until vegetables are tender-crisp and chickpeas are golden and crispy. Remove from oven.


  • 3While vegetables roast, heat remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season cauliflower steaks and florets with salt and pepper. Sear cauliflower steaks for 3-5 minutes per side until golden brown and tender, adding florets to cook simultaneously, stirring occasionally.


  • 4In a small bowl, whisk together gochujang, lime juice, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and maple syrup until well combined and smooth.


  • 5Divide the seared cauliflower steaks, roasted vegetables, and crispy chickpeas evenly among 4 serving bowls.


  • 6Drizzle generously with the Gochujang-Lime dressing. Garnish with fresh cilantro and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes


  • For extra protein, pan-fry some firm tofu or tempeh cubes alongside the cauliflower steaks.

  • Ensure chickpeas are very dry before roasting for maximum crispiness. Pat them thoroughly with a kitchen towel.
