Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 220C and line a baking tray with baking paper. Alternatively, preheat an air fryer to 190C.
Step 2
Spread the chickpeas evenly on the prepared tray and pat them dry thoroughly with kitchen paper. Add the sumak, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper, then mix well with your hands to ensure the chickpeas are evenly coated. Bake or air fry for 15-20 minutes, or until crisp and golden.
Step 3
While the chickpeas are roasting, prepare the pea spread. In a small blender, combine the peas, 2 tablespoons of tahini, nutritional yeast, sesame seeds, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and a splash of hot water. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding more water if necessary to achieve the right consistency.
Step 4
Spread the vibrant green pea mixture generously over slices of toasted sourdough. Top with the crispy chickpeas, drizzle with the remaining tahini, and sprinkle over a little extra spices and lemon zest.
Step 5
Serve it.
