Ingredients
For the honey roasted chickpeas
  • 1 can chickpeas, drained and dried well
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp chilli flakes (adjust to taste)
  • Salt & pepper

For the salad
  • 2 cups roasted pumpkin, cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup roasted zucchini 
  • Salt & pepper
  • 2 big handfuls rocket
  • ½ cup crumbled feta

For the tahini and silken tofu drizzle
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 300g silken tofu
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1–2 tbsp warm water (to loosen)
  • Pinch of salt

Method
Chickpeas: Pat the chickpeas really dry, then toss with olive oil, honey, paprika, chilli, salt and pepper. Add to a separate tray and roast for 20–25 minutes until crispy and caramelised, giving them a shake halfway through.
Dressing: Add the silken tofu, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, honey and salt to a blender or small food processor and blend until completely smooth. 
Gently warm the dressing in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring continuously so it stays silky and doesn’t split. Add a splash of warm water to loosen to your desired consistency.

To assemble: add rocket to a bowl, top with your roasted zucchini, pumpkin and chickpeas, then scatter over feta and any seeds or nuts. Finish with a generous drizzle of tahini and serve while still warm.


Honestly tastes like something you'd order at a good café but you made it in like 30 minutes! Enjoy! x
