Add the chickpeas to a clean kitchen towel, then pat dry. Transfer the chickpeas to a baking tray with 1 tbsp of oil and a pinch of salt. Toss to coat, then spread them out into a single layer and place on the top rack to bake for 20 minutes. Allow the pan to cool for 5-10 minutes then add 1 tsp garlic powder and 1/2 coriander. Toss to coat and return to the oven for 10 minutes or until mostly crispy.

To a separate tray add the cauliflower along with the remaining seasonings, a generous pinch of salt and 1-2 tbsp of oil. Toss to evenly coat then spread the cauliflower out on the tray, placing the florets cut side down on the tray. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, give them a toss then return to bake for 10-15 minutes until browned around the edges.

For the sauce, place all the sauce ingredients in a small blender cup with a generous pinch of salt and blend to combine. Alternatively, you can mince the peppers very fine and add to a bowl with the remaining ingredients and whisk together until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, stir in 1-2 tbsp of water to adjust consistency to your liking.
