Moroccan Cauliflower Chickpea Pita with Tzatziki Sauce
Happy Monday! And can I get a H-U-R-R-A-Y because Monday night means I have date with me, myself, a glass of wine, and the Bachelor! 🙂
I don’t know about you guys, but we had an awesome, inspiring, and exhausting weekend. Not because it was Super Bowl weekend but because this weekend we had our first training on how to set up the new church we are helping launch.
I’m not sure I told you about this yet. Um.. so p.s. we are leaving the church we are currently attending to help launch a brand new church in our area. Not because we didn’t like the other church, BELIEVE ME, but because my husband and I both felt like God was leading us to this new church. And honestly, being there all weekend confirmed that.
I never thought I would be on the ground floor of a church or helping start it. I thought it was going to be too much work. I just wanted to sit in my comfortable chair and let everyone else do the work. It turns out God had other plans for us and I can feel my spirit come alive as we talk about what the entry way should look like, where the Cafe area should be, making people feel welcome when they walk through the door. I LOVE it!
Ok, something else I LOVE, Tzatziki Sauce.
In fact, I’m kinda obsessed with the stuff! I’m pretty sure it’s one of the best culinary discoveries the Greek’s have had besides Baklava.
As you can tell I was craving some Tzatziki sauce and was looking … searching for a vehicle to put it in. Ahem… enter this Moroccan Cauliflower Chickpea Pita!
Why I Love This Dinner Recipe
Ya’ll, the flavors from the rich bold spices that coat these vegetables is incredible. Then those vegetables are roasted to enhance there nothing flavor and they turn into nothing other than pure vegetable candy.
For realz!
As soon as they came out of the oven I was snacking on them and dunking them in the Tzatziki sauce. Who needs cookies and milk? You can have roasted vegetables and tzatziki sauce? It’s totally the same thing …
Ok.. I may have crossed the line. Not the same. Forgive me?
If anything I hope you understand the sentiment of what I’m trying to say … this Moroccan Cauliflower Chickpea Pitas are out of this world good. It’s a fun culinary change up for your family during the week and takes less than 35 minutes to make.
AND it’s perfect for Meatless Monday.
On a side note, can I just say I gave myself a pat on the back for posting a vegetarian meal on Meatless Monday.. normally I’m behind the game and post it mid week. But not this week. This week, I’m on my game!
Bon Appetit my friends!

Made this recipe tonight!! The entire family loved it and it was easy to make!! Only thing it was missing was a little bit more crunch for texture. However I put some crispy tortilla chips and it did the trick!
