💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Soak the chickpeas in water overnight for a creamier texture before roasting.
- ✓Use a food processor instead of a blender for the whipped tofu feta to achieve a smoother consistency.
- ✓If you don't have chimichurri sauce, substitute with a mixture of parsley, garlic, and olive oil for a similar flavor.
- ✓Make sure to season the cauliflower generously with salt and pepper to enhance its natural flavor.
