1.Preheat oven to 220°C/425°F. Line an oven tray with baking paper.

3.Place chickpeas and beans on tray. Bake for 50 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until golden and crisp.
4.Transfer roasted chickpeas and beans to a medium bowl. Add oil, rind, cumin, coriander, chilli flakes and coconut sugar. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper; toss until well coated.

You can use dried legumes; soak overnight first and cook for 1½ hours in boiling water. Experiment with spices and herbs to flavour. store the roasted mix in an airtight container or jar for up to 4 days.
