Directions
Preheat oven to 400. On a baking tray add sweet potatoes, cauliflower, and three peeled cloves of garlic (for the dressing) and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix spices together and use half of the mixture to evenly coat the sweet potatoes and cauliflower.
Roast the garlic for about 20 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure even browning, then remove from the tray to cool. Cook the sweet potatoes and cauliflower for an additional 25 minutes, occasionally flipping the until they’re tender and evenly roasted.
While the sweet potatoes and cauliflower are roasting add the chickpeas to a separate baking tray and drizzle with olive oil and remaining spices.
Roast chickpeas for 25 minutes, tossing occasionally.
While the veggies are roasting, prepare the dressing. Add the cooled roasted garlic and remaining dressing ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend until well combined.
Once the veggies are done roasting, add them to a large bowl or plate and top with Tahini Chili Oil Dressing, feta, and cilantro or parsley.
* You can find chili oil at your local Asian grocery store, or in the international section in most grocery stores. You can also skim the oil off the top of your favorite jar of chili crisp!
