Ingredients:

- 1 small yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 small head of cauliflower or ½ large
- 1x 19 oz. (540g) can of chickpeas

What you need to do:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets with baking parchment.
- Remove the stem from the cauliflower and cut the cauliflower head into small bite sized pieces.
- Place the cauliflower, bell peppers, onion, drained and rinsed chickpeas into a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle on the taco seasoning. Mix well to combine and pour onto the two lined baking sheets.
- Place the trays into the oven and bake for 18 minutes, until the cauliflower edges start to brown a little.
