Roast until the cauliflower is tender and browned and the chickpeas are lightly crisp, turning everything halfway through.

Whisk the lemon juice, tahini, water, grated garlic, remaining olive oil, remaining ⅜ tsp (2 gr) salt, and remaining 1 gr black pepper until smooth.

Step 6
Remove the roasted cauliflower and chickpeas from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet.
