Roast Chickpea Salad

Chickpeas are such a versatile store cupboard ingredient, great for bulking out meals, but also they can be used as the main ingredient. Here I have oven baked them in olive oil and spices to create a crispy coating that gives this salad an amazing texture.

Ingredients

  • ½ tin of chickpeas

  • 1 tsp cumin

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • Small handful of rocket

  • Small handful of feta, crumbled

  • Olive oil

  • Salt & pepper

Recipe

Pre-heat your oven to 190°c.

In an oven proof dish, add the chickpeas along with a generous glug of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of paprika and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown and set to one side for a few minutes to cool down a bit.

To serve, mix with fresh rocket leaves, crumbled feta and a glug of olive oil.
