  1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Prepare vegetables. Preheat BBQ grill to high (if using). Prepare vegetables. Toss cauliflower, chickpeas and first measure of citrus chicken spice on prepared tray with a drizzle of oil. Season and roast in oven for about 25 minutes until golden. Toss half way through cooking.

  5. When cauliflower has 5 minutes cook time remaining add walnuts to tray to toast. When cauliflower has finished cooking, remove from oven and add to large bowl along with currants, radish, rocket and mint leaves. Toss to combine and season to taste.
