Step 1

1. Heat the oven to 220. Put all the spices in a small bowl and stir well.
2. Wash and dry the cauliflower, then sit it on a chopping board, stem end down.
3. Cut into 1 inch slices - some will break into little bits, others will stay whole.
4. Cut out and discard any big bits of stem.
5. Transfer the cauliflower into a large bowl, tip in the chickpeas (if using), the spices and the olive oil.
6. Mix well, using your hands, until everything is well coated.

7. Tip into a large roasting dish and put in the oven for 20-30 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender and crispy.
