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.

The best use of that head of cauliflower that HAS to get used. Tossed this together and used the sriracha sauce on top of shrimp, added jasmine rice under and topped with this for a spicy, yet delicious dinner. Easy to make and used my Pampered Chef stone so it roasted perfectly. I did adjust the sriracha down a bit as I made it with my kids in mind, but everyone was happy!
So glad this recipe was a success, Kristen! Thanks so much for the review. I really appreciate it!

Woo! I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe, Milagros! Thanks so much for the review 🙂
This has become a go-to meal in our house! So delicious, and actually spicy! I love how you add the sauce last so that the cauliflower stays crispy. We like to serve it over rice and with another veggie like green beans.
Yay! This makes me so happy to hear, Faith! I’m so glad everyone is enjoying this recipe. Thanks so much for the review. I really appreciate it!
This is my new go to meal prep recipe! I had it for lunch today and it was amazing! It smelled great coming out of the microwave too! I’m not a huge fan of spice, so I added just a tbsp of brown sugar to the sauce to tone down the heat, and it came out delicious! Will definitely have to add this into my work week lunch rotation! Another EBF recipe that I love 💕
