Method

  1. Heat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Dry the chickpeas, toss with two thirds of the oil and the cumin, spread on a half baking tray and roast 12 minutes, until they begin to rattle on the tray.
  2. Add the broccoli and roast 12 minutes more, until the florets brown at the tips. Blend the tahini, parsley, lime juice, garlic and remaining oil with 3 tbsp cold water until pale green and pourable.
  3. Pour the sauce over the hot tray and finish with the pumpkin seeds, toasted in a dry pan.
Chef’s tipDry the chickpeas on a towel before they go in the oven. Wet ones never crisp, whatever the heat, and a soft chickpea on this tray is a wasted one.
KeepKeeps 4 days chilled. Eat cold. Stir before serving; it thickens as it sits. Scatter the seeds at the table so they stay crisp. Freeze the chickpeas alone, 1 month.
SwapNo tahini? Any smooth nut butter, loosened with lemon and water.
