INGREDIENTS

FOR THE CHICKPEAS:

• 1 14-ounce can of chickpeas, rinsed and strained
• 2 tablespoons dry dill
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• A dash of vinegar

FOR THE TZATZIKI:

• 1 cup of vegan sour cream
• 1/2 cup of chopped cucumber
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper

FOR THE SANDWICH:

• Tomatoes
• Radishes

PREPARATION

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Check a few steps down depending on how you want the chickpeas cooked.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
3. Combine all the ingredients for the chickpeas, stir them well and transfer them to the baking sheet.
4. Pop the chickpeas into the oven, and bake them for about 40 minutes.
5. Prepare all your vegetables for your sandwich, and the pitas you plan on using- and set them aside.
6. Check on your chickpeas. If you like them crunchy, it means you have to cook them for up to an hour and a half. If you want them crunchy on the outside, and soft on the inside, cook them at 375°F for 45 minutes.
7. In the mean time prepare your tzatziki by combining all the ingredients into a bowl, and stirring – it’s that easy.
8. Assemble your sandwich with according to your preference.
