Ingredients
  

2 cups broccoli florets

2 cups cauliflower florets

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

1/2 cup chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli and cauliflower florets. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated.

      Roast the Veggies: Spread the coated florets evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they're tender and slightly caramelized.

        Mix the Salad: While the vegetables are roasting, in another bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, red onion, chickpeas, and feta cheese (if using).

          Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, and honey or maple syrup until well combined.

            Assemble the Salad: Once the broccoli and cauliflower are roasted, allow them to cool slightly. Add them to the bowl with tomatoes, onion, and chickpeas. Drizzle the dressing over the top and toss gently to combine.

              Garnish and Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve the salad warm or at room temperature for a delightful dish!
