Sriracha Cauliflower and Chickpea Sheet Pan Meal
This post may include affiliate links. Thank you for your support.
A simple chickpea sheet pan meal that is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner. Roasted cauliflower, chickpeas, and a delicious Sriracha-based sauce. Gluten-free and vegan.
Like my vegan power bowl recipe, this sheet pan meal was inspired by Terra’s Kitchen, a meal delivery service that we used to use all the time.
Their Korean BBQ Cauliflower and Chickpeas was one of our favorite meals to order, but since the business is closed we’ve had to resort to making our own version at home!
I can’t even look at these pictures without my mouth watering… but this dish gets major bonus points because it’s so simple. You can totally throw this recipe together in under 30 minutes and with only one pan! It’s the perfect weeknight dinner, great for those nights when you’re thinking of throwing a frozen pizza in the oven but know you’d be better off getting in some veggies. Haha!
How to Make a Chickpea Sheet Pan Meal
You’ll start by roasting the cauliflower and chickpeas. If you’re short on time, you can buy a bag of cauliflower florets, otherwise chop up a head of cauliflower. Drain a can of chickpeas, rinse them and pat them dry. Quick and easy! Don’t stress about getting the chickpeas perfectly dry.
Toss the cauliflower florets and chickpeas in olive oil, salt and pepper, and roast away!
While your veggies are roasting, whip up the delicious Sriracha sauce. After the veggies are done roasting, toss them in the sauce and then you’ll actually broil them in the oven for a few extra minutes. This will give the veggies a tasty caramelized char and really combines the flavors of the sauce and roasted veggies!
When it’s all heated through, dish up some brown rice or quinoa (secret: I keep frozen rice in the freezer for easy meals like this) and serve the cauliflower and chickpeas on top. Scatter a few scallions and crushed peanuts on top to garnish and enjoy.

This is delicious and a regular in our dinner rotation. Planning on making a double batch next time so there are actually leftovers for lunch the next day :).
So glad you enjoyed this recipe, Annie! Thanks for the review 🙂
Another great recipe – thank you Brittany. I had to make a couple of substitutions based on what I had on hand – chili garlic sauce for the Sriracha and yellow onion for the green onion – but it was delicious regardless! Served it with shrimp burger on top for extra protein. Making the peanut tofu tonight.

Just delicious!!! I served this tonight with Asian Salmon and it was so good! I thought we would have leftovers but we ate every bite. I did cut the sriracha in half for my husband who doesn’t love his food too spicy and it was perfect. Thank you. I will be making this again.

Hey I love your Blog and this is an amazing food recipe, but what do you think about Keto?! What’s your opinion on Custom Keto Diets? If your interested in more information about Keto, here’s a FREE Offer!
Holy cow this was amazing! Super easy and delicious. Because my oven runs hot, I roasted at 425 and flipped the pan around halfway through. Only broiled for 1 minute to avoid burning things. It is extremely spicy so next time I might reduce the sriracha a little bit. To be fair, eating it with rice would cut the heat a little. I was too impatient and ate it plain 🙂
