Steps:
- In a small bowl, beat the butter and spices with a wooden spoon, then set aside.
- Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/ gas 7. Trim the outer leaves of the cauliflower and remove the very bottom of the root, being careful to keep some of the root attached so the whole cauliflower remains intact. Bring a large pan (big enough to fit the whole cauliflower) filled with salted water to a rolling boil. Cook for 3-4 mins to partially tenderise, then carefully remove with two slotted spoons.
- Put the cauliflower and chickpeas on a baking tray. Rub the cauliflower with the butter, dot a little over the chickpeas and season everything. Roast in the oven for 35 mins until the chickpeas are crispy, the cauliflower is deep golden-brown, and a cutlery knife can be inserted into the middle easily.
- Meanwhile, make the feta dressing. In a large bowl, whisk the feta and Greek yogurt until the cheese has completely broken up and the mixture is creamy. Add the lemon juice, whisk again, then season to taste. Chill until needed.
- Remove the cauliflower and chickpeas from the oven, transfer the cauliflower to a plate, then mix the remaining ingredients, except the pomegranate molasses, with the warm chickpeas on the tray.
- Arrange the herby chickpeas on a large sharing platter and place the whole cauliflower on top. Spoon over the dressing and drizzle with pomegranate molasses to serve.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°. Grease a rimmed baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar, and Sriracha. Whisk well.
- Gently add cauliflower and coat with marinade.
- Arrange cauliflower on baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes. Turn cauliflower over and roast for another 10 minutes, or until tender.

Tips:
- Choose a head of cauliflower that is firm and compact, with tightly packed florets. Avoid heads with brown spots or blemishes.
- Cut the cauliflower into florets of uniform size so that they cook evenly.
- Toss the cauliflower florets in olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting. This will help them to brown and crisp up.
- Roast the cauliflower florets at a high temperature (425 degrees Fahrenheit) for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
- Make the spicy honey glaze while the cauliflower is roasting. Bring honey, Sriracha, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and garlic to a simmer in a saucepan. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened.
- Toss the roasted cauliflower florets in the spicy honey glaze and serve immediately.
