Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°c (fan assisted)/425°f/gas 7.

Step 2

Combine the chickpeas, potato, garlic, cinnamon, cloves, ground coriander, ginger, smoked paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, a nice pinch of salt and black pepper and a really good glug of olive oil. Use your hands to mix everything together and rub the spices into the chickpeas and potatoes, then pour out between two baking trays. Roast for 35-40 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Step 3

Meanwhile, you can make the herby yoghurt. Combine the yoghurt, olive oil, mint, dill, lemon juice, garlic and a nice pinch of salt and black pepper in a bowl. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed.

Step 4

Spread the herby yoghurt between bowls. Top with the roasted potatoes and chickpeas and finish with a drizzling of olive oil, a few sprigs of extra fresh dill and a grating of lemon zest. Serve with a toasted flatbread.
