📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 200°C fan / 430°F. Add the pistachios to a small heatproof bowl, pour over 200ml boiling water and set aside to soften.
2
Add the cauliflower and red onions to a large roasting tin. Drizzle with olive oil, season generously and toss together. Roast for 30–⏱️ 35 minutes until tender and golden.
3
When the veg have 15–⏱️ 20 minutes left, add the chickpeas to a small roasting tin. Toss with the za’atar, chilli flakes (if using) and a pinch of flaky sea salt, then roast for the remaining cooking time, until crisp and golden.
4
To make the dressing, add the pistachios and their soaking water to a high-speed blender with the tahini, garlic, olive oil and a pinch of salt. Blitz until completely smooth – it should be the consistency of double cream.
