Roast until the cauliflower and the chickpeas have browned, approximately 30 minutes.
While the cauliflower and chickpeas are cooking, make the zesty yogurt sauce. In a food processor or blender, blend the dairy-free vegan yogurt with freshly squeezed lemon juice and chopped cilantro. Season with salt and pepper.
Warm the pitas in either the microwave or oven. Stuff them, garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve.
