Spread into a single layer and roast in the oven for 20 mins.  While these are roasting, tip the drained chickpeas into a bowl and add the red onion. Toss with olive oil, salt & give it a good stir. After 20 mins add the chickpea mixture to the baking tray and cook for a further 10-15 mins until crispy and golden.

3. For the hummus, blitz everything in a food processor until gorgeous and creamy.

4. To make the dressing: in a small bowl mix together tahini, garlic, lemon juice, water and salt until well combined and creamy. Set aside.
