Instructions
Prep and cook the quinoa: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Bring 1 cup water with a large pinch of salt to a boil. Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Wrap the garlic cloves in a small piece of tin foil with a drizzle of olive oil. Once boiling, add the quinoa to the boiling water, cover, and reduce to a simmer for 15-20 minutes, until tender.
Roast the veg: Peel and cut the carrot into ½-inch cubes. Cut the cauliflower into small bite-sized florets. Toss the chickpeas, cauliflower, and carrot on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of olive oil, the ras el hanout, and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Set the foil-wrapped garlic cloves on the baking sheet. Place in the oven for about 20 minutes, tossing halfway through, until golden brown and garlic is very soft.
Pick the parsley leaves off the stems and discard the stems. Halve and juice the lemon.
Make the roasted garlic vinaigrette: when the roasted garlic is completely soft, mash it into a paste on your cutting board using a fork. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, roasted garlic, 1 teaspoon honey, and a large drizzle (about 2 tablespoons) of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, toss together the quinoa, chickpeas, carrot, arugula, and vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper.
Finish and plate: Serve the salad divided between bowls and garnish with the parsley leaves. Enjoy!
