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 was so good. I made a couple of substitutions based on what I had on hand (honey and soy sauce instead of maple syrup and coconut aminos). But most notably I had yellow chili sriracha sauce which made a delicious and bright dish. I served it over quinoa with a drizzle of curry yogurt dressing.
Pumped to hear this recipe was a hit, Lacey. Thanks so much for trying it out and coming back to leave a review. It means so much to me!
I’ve been wanting to incorporate more meatless meals into our diet and found this one. Wasn’t expecting much but decided to give it a try because the reviews seemed good and I am so glad I did! I followed the recipe exactly and it was amazing! It was so good I can’t wait to eat the leftovers. This will definitely be added into my meal rotation! Thanks!
Made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious! Made as is, just added some pan fried tofu that needed to get eaten. Will definitely be adding this to my go to list!
Woo!! So pumped to hear this, Emma. Love the addition of tufu as well. Thanks for the review!
I never comment on recipes but this one is unbelievably good. Even the meat-loving family members ask for this again and again. It’s one of those dishes that is half gone before it gets to the table because everyone has been snatching it off the pan.
Ah yay! This makes me so happy to hear, Kaytee. Thanks for the review!!
Another delicious and healthy meal from EBF. I make this at least once a month minimum. It’s filling and nutritious and I can’t stop eating it!
So glad you love this recipe, Kaitlin! Thanks for the review, it means the world to me!
This is so addicting! Even the meat-lovers in my house rave about how delicious this is!
Woo!! That makes me so happy to hear, Lori. Thanks for coming back to leave a review and star rating. It means the world to me!
Made this for dinner tonight- SO easy and super tasty! Had all ingredients in the pantry. I paired it with some shredded chicken and served over kale. I saved a small amount of the sauce to drizzle over the chicken and it was perfect! Love this meal- healthy easy and delicious 🙂
Yay! I’m so happy this recipe was a hit, Madeleine. Thank you for sharing your review, I really appreciate it.
This was the best roasted chickpeas and cauliflower I sever had. It was easy and quick.
Woo! So glad to hear it, Milagros. Thanks so much for sharing! I really appreciate it.
I made this for dinner tonight, and it was excellent! I added quartered Bella mushrooms to use them up and had to use rice vinegar and soy sauce as I was out of apple cider vinegar and have never bought coconut aminos; otherwise, I followed the recipe. The flavor of the sauce was really tasty and imparted great flavor to the cauliflower. Thanks for a great recipe that I’ll surely make again.
WOO! I am so excited to hear that you are loving this recipe, Lynda. The Mushrooms sounds like such a delicious addition. Thank you so much for coming back and sharing your review & star rating, it means so much to me.
QQ, this sounds amazing except Sriracha and I are not friends… Any other substitute I could possibly try to have this lovely meal? Thank you for your amazing dishes!
Hi Jenni – You could use another hot sauce if you prefer or someone mentioned they used chili crunch from Trader Joes. Let me know what you choose to use and how it works out for you!
