Cooking Steps
-
Adjust racks to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
-
Trim cauliflower into bite-size pieces. Drain and rinse chickpeas; pat very dry with paper towels. Trim scallions. Cut whites into ½-inch batons; thinly slice greens. Place apricots in a small bowl with enough water to cover; set aside. Dice tomato.
-
Toss cauliflower on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, half the Turkish Spice Blend, salt, and pepper.
-
Toss chickpeas and scallion whites on a separate baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, remaining Turkish Spice Blend, salt, and pepper.
-
Roast on top and middle racks, swapping rack positions halfway through, until cauliflower is charred and cooked through and chickpeas are crisped, 25-30 minutes.
-
When veggies and chickpeas have 5 minutes remaining, massage grain blend in package; partially open package. Microwave until warmed through, 90 seconds.
-
Transfer grain blend to a large bowl and toss with apricots (draining first), tomato, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
-
Divide grain mixture between shallow bowls. Top with cauliflower and chickpeas in separate sections. Drizzle with harissa aioli and sprinkle with scallion greens. Serve.

Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavor: The Turkish spice blend and harissa aioli were standout hits — the aioli in particular was described as the ingredient that tied everything together 🌶️.
- Ease of prep: The recipe is straightforward, with the microwavable grain blend making the grain step especially quick and hands-on.
- Suggestions: Add more cauliflower if you want a heartier bowl; one reviewer also suggested lentils for extra plant-based protein, and another noted the rehydrated apricots were barely noticeable flavor-wise.
- Spice level: The Turkish spice blend brings real heat — those sensitive to spice may want to use it sparingly on the cauliflower and chickpeas.
- Chickpeas: Roast the chickpeas for the full 25–30 minutes, swapping rack positions halfway through, to get them properly crisped rather than soft.
