Instructions
Preheat oven to 400° F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix together the white and purple cauliflower, romanesco, olive oil, za'atar spice, salt and pepper into a large bowl and toss to evenly coat. Spread the spiced vegetables out so they are evenly spaced, onto prepared baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes and allow to cool.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together the chickpeas, olive oil, cumin, salt, paprika, cayenne and pepper, until evenly coated. Sautée chickpeas over medium heat on stovetop, stirring occasionally until evenly browned. We recommend using a cast-iron pan for this step. Set aside and allow to cool.
*Chickpeas can also be roasted ahaed at 400° F for 30 minutes in the oven.
To prepare the Kale, heat 1 Tbs olive oil in a large sauté pan set over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add minced garlic, and cook until soft. Add kale to the pan, turn the heat to high and add the stock. Stir gently to evenly coat greens with oil and stock, cover and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes. The kale will be soft and slightly wilted but will still have a vibrancy to its green color. Remove color and continue to cook until liquid has evaporated, approximately 1 minute. Season to taste and toss with vinegar to combine.
To serve, smear the bottom of four bowls with hummus. Divide the roasted cauliflower, romanesco, chickpeas, kale, carrot and micro greens evenly between the bowls. Drizzle each bowl with a little olive oil and sprinkle with desired amount of za’atar and salt to taste.
