ns the roasting time by about 10-15 minutes.

Take the chickpeas out of the oven to cool and then place all ingredients (except the olive oil) including the cooled chickpeas in a blender, add a small amount of water to allow for proper mixing.

Blend until desired smooth texture is achieved and then add the olive oil and stir in - you can also stir in any extra spices like smoked paprika, harissa, chilli etc to taste - have fun with it!
