Ingredients
Scale
1 medium cauliflower (approximately 1.5 pounds), cut into florets
1 pound potatoes, sliced into wedges
1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
0.5 cup pitted olives
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
Zest of 1 lemon
3 cloves garlic, grated or minced
1.5 teaspoons ground turmeric
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
0.75 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Black pepper, to taste
0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Juice from additional lemon, as needed
1 cup cooked quinoa, or substitute with farro, brown rice, couscous, orzo, bulgur, wild rice, crumbled feta, or rotisserie chicken
0.5 cup Greek yogurt

Instructions
Preheat oven to 430°F. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, turmeric, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and slice potatoes into even wedges. Drain and rinse chickpeas thoroughly. Combine cauliflower, potatoes, chickpeas, and pitted olives on a large baking sheet.
Drizzle the marinade over the vegetables and toss thoroughly to ensure even coating.
Arrange the vegetables in a single layer and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden and tender at the edges.
Sprinkle chopped parsley and additional lemon juice over the roasted vegetables. Gently fold in the cooked quinoa or preferred grain. Serve in bowls with Greek yogurt and extra lemon to taste.
