    How to make this chickpea tray bake

    The most hands on step in this recipe is chopping up the vegetables. However, once you've prepped the vegetables it's easy as!

    Preheat the oven to 200C/ 390F or 180C (fan-forced)

    Prepare vegetables: Chop up the vegetables and rinse the chickpeas.

    Combine ingredients: Add the vegetables and chickpeas to a large roasting dish or lasagna sized dish along with the seasonings. Spray well with olive oil and toss everything to combine.

    Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes, tossing once and rotating the pan halfway through.

    Peanut sauce: Meanwhile, make the sauce by combining everything together in a small bowl. I recommend adding the water slowly, everything emulsifies into a smooth creamy sauce.

    Serve: Remove the dish from the oven, top with the peanut sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with some couscous, quinoa or grains. Alternatively, you can serve it as an exciting side dish to your healthy vegan dinner!
