Combine chickpeas, cauliflower, ras el hanout, 2 tbsp olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper on one side of foil-lined baking sheet and toss. Add pear, 1 tsp olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper to other side of baking sheet and toss. Roast until cauliflower is tender and chickpeas are beginning to brown, 12 to 18 minutes.

Transfer roasted chickpeas, cauliflower, and pear to plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Add hazelnuts to same baking sheet and toast until hazelnuts are golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes.
