Easy to make Sheet Pan Cauliflower, Chickpeas and Cherry Tomatoes recipe. The veggies are drizzled with olive oil and garlic and then baked in the oven with lime wedges. Serve this meatless meal over rice, barley or pasta for a simple 25-minute dinner.
Baked Cauliflower and Chickpeas with CherrY Tomatoes
This is a simple meatless meal made with cauliflower, tomatoes, chickpeas. Olive oil and minced garlic are drizzled on top of the vegetables, seasoned with salt and pepper and then baked until tender and crisp.
From start to finish, this is a 25-minute meal that is in our constant rotation for dinner. We usually serve over rice, barley or pasta for a full meal, but you can also serve next to a main course if you’re looking for a simple (and delicious) side dish.
Now let’s add our veggies and start cooking!
How to Roast Sheet Pan Cauliflower
Grab a large baking sheet. You can add aluminum foil for easy cleanup, but personally I prefer to roast the vegetables directly on the baking sheet.
Place cauliflower, cherry (or grape) tomatoes and a can of chickpeas (that have been drained) on the baking sheet.
Drizzle olive oil, minced garlic and salt & pepper on top of the veggies and stir to fully coat.
Add lime slices to the pan.
Roast until vegetables are tender and lightly browned. This takes usually around 20-25 minutes, I like to start watching them around the 15 minute mark so they don’t burn.
Remove from oven, remove the limes and serve. If you really love the taste of lime you can squeeze a little bit of the lime on top of yours for an extra zesty taste. I hope you enjoy this meal as much as I do!
How to Serve Sheet Pan Cauliflower
You can serve sheet pan veggies as a main course or side dish.
We prefer to have these roasted vegetables over rice, barley, couscous or pasta for a full dinner.
You can also serve as a side dish next to Oven Baked Sausage, Rotisserie Chicken or whatever main course you want.

Totally stupid! I really want to try this recipe, no way to print it! I will NOT use one of these sites where I must download their junk to my computer!
Pamela Reed says
Donna, there is a BIG PINK BUTTON on the recipe card that says PRINT. It even has a icon of a PRINTER on it. Click that.
Donna Lindsay says
I looked for that button, I couldn’t find one anywhere. This is the way I print recipes all the time. I will try to find it again! Maybe my eyes weren’t working right yesterday. Thanks for getting back to me.
