Ingredients

5-7 carrots
1 head cauliflower
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 teaspoons cumin
one 12-ounce jar of sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil
3 big pieces of garlic naan, torn in half (I use store-bought and I’m very okay with it)
10-12 pieces of easy 5 ingredient baked falafel
one batch of Magic Green Sauce
a handful of cilantro leaves

Method

Prepare the falafel and the Magic Green Sauce in advance. Both can be completed in under 30 minutes and stored in the refrigerator for up to a day.
Heat your oven to 400 degrees. Prepare the carrots by peeling and cutting them into thin strips, placing them on a roasting tray. Cut the cauliflower into small florets and arrange them on a separate tray. Drizzle each tray with olive oil, then season with cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Bake for 30 minutes, giving them an occasional stir. For extra colour, you may continue baking for another 10-15 minutes. Once cooked, set the vegetables aside to cool.
For the spread, drain the majority of the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes. Process them briefly in a food processor until you achieve a textured, spreadable consistency.
To assemble, gently warm the naan until soft. Spread a layer of Magic Green Sauce on each piece, then top with the roasted carrots, cauliflower, sun-dried tomato spread, falafel pieces, and fresh cilantro leaves.
