Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, toss 4 cups cauliflower florets and 1 cup drained chickpeas with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Spread the cauliflower and chickpeas on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 15 minutes until they start to brown.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, in the same bowl, combine 1 lb peeled shrimp with 2 tbsp harissa paste, 1 tbsp olive oil, and 2 tbsp lemon juice, tossing to coat.
  4. Step 4: After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from oven and push the vegetables to the sides. Arrange the shrimp in the center of the sheet and return to oven for 8-10 minutes until shrimp are pink and cooked through.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven and sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley over everything before serving.
