Ingredients
- 1 tin of chickpeas, drained and rinsed

- 250g hummus
- 50g fresh spinach leaves
- 4 thick slices of bread, any kind

Instructions
[1] Begin by preheating the oven to 180ºc. Scatter the chickpeas onto a baking tray, sprinkle with the cayenne pepper and drizzle with the olive oil. Give the tray a shake to coat the chickpeas evenly in the spices and oil and then place in the oven for 25 minutes until golden and crispy.
[2] Meanwhile in a blender add the hummus and spinach leaves. Blitz until the hummus is green and smooth.
[3] Toast the bread [this is optional] before spreading the spinach hummus on top evenly between the four slices.
