Instructions
Preheat oven to 425℉/220°C. Line a rimmed baking sheet with greased parchment paper. Add cauliflower and carrots in a single layer on sheet pan and coat with oil and spice mixture ensuring each piece is coated. Cook for 25 minutes. Remove and add fresh squeezed lemon juice and parsley. Put veggies back in the oven and cook for another 5-10 minutes or until cauliflower is golden brown.
Line another baking sheet with parchment paper. Rinse and drain chickpeas and dry with paper towel discarding skins. Toss chickpeas with 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil and spice blend. Add chickpeas to half of baking sheet leaving space for sweet potatoes. Dice sweet potatoes and toss in other 1 tablespoon olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Add to other half of baking sheet. Roast in preheated oven for 20-28 minutes.
