Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oven or air fryer to 200C/190C fan/gas 6. Make the dressing by mixing all of the ingredients together and season lightly. Pour the chickpeas onto a lined baking sheet and toss with half the dressing. Bake for 20-25 mins until crispy and golden. Leave to cool for 5 mins.

  • step 2

    Mix the remaining dressing with enough water to make a pourable consistency. Mix the chopped coriander, carrot, cucumber and red cabbage together in a small bowl, and season lightly.

  • step 3

    Split the rice between bowls, top with the veg mix and crispy chickpeas, then scatter over the coriander leaves, sesame seeds, crispy onions and sliced chilli, if you like.
