Method

Serves 3

 

  1. First heat the oven to 200c

 

  1. Drain and rinse the chickpeas and pat them dry.

 

  1. Toss them in the oil mixed with spices and salt.

 

  1. Spread on a greaseproof paper-lined roasting tin and put in the pre-heated oven for 35-40 mins. Moving them around by giving the tray a shake halfway through the cooking time to ensure they are roasting evenly.

 

  1. Taking your carrots, peel and halve lengthways, toss in oil and salt and pepper before adding to the tray with the chickpeas.

 

  1. When the chickpeas and carrots are lovely and crispy and golden brown, remove from the oven and leave to cool completely. Store any leftover chickpeas in an airtight container.

 

  1. Warm your pittas and slice an opening lengthways and fill with the chantenay carrots, lambs lettuce, crispy radishes and cucumber.

 

  1. Finish with a good helping of vegan tzatziki style dressing sprouted seeds.
