Hot Honey Cauliflower and Chickpeas

Cauliflower has been having a moment, and for good reason. It truly is a versatile vegetable that can basically fit into any type of recipe. However, my problem with most cauliflower based recipes is that they lack protein and do not keep me full very long. This Vegan Hot Honey Sticky Cauliflower and Chickpeas recipe is perfect when you want a cauliflower based dish with substance.

The chickpeas add plant protein and extra fiber. Plus they crisp up nicely on the sheet pan with the cauliflower and add texture to the dish.
