Drain the chickpeas, stir in a splash of olive oil and a pinch of salt and scatter on a baking tray - roast in the oven for 20-30 mins at 180 degrees (an air fryer works really well for this too - usually it shorte
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!
Place in a jar and store in the fridge - sealed air tight it will last 3 to 4 days.
