Roasted chickpea and pepper wraps
Colourful peppers and chickpeas roast together while you set out warm tortillas and a few easy toppings.
A tray in the oven leaves a little breathing room to clear the table and gather the toppings. Keep everything separate when you serve: some people will build generous wraps, and others will prefer a small pile of each thing on their plate.

Make it together
A child can pat the rinsed chickpeas dry with a clean towel, measure the spices, and stir the yogurt. A grownup cuts the vegetables and handles the oven and trays.
- Heat the oven to 220°C / 425°F. Set out a large rimmed baking tray. If your tray is small, use two so the vegetables have room.
- Put the dry chickpeas, pepper strips, and onion wedges in a large bowl. Add the oil, paprika, cumin, oregano, and salt. Mix until everything is lightly coated.
- Spread over the tray in one layer. Roast for 15 minutes.
- A grownup should turn the mixture with a spatula. Roast for another 10 minutes, until the peppers have softened and browned at the edges. The chickpeas should be warm throughout with lightly crisp surfaces.
- Warm the tortillas following their packet instructions. Keep them covered with a clean cloth so they stay soft.
- Put the roasted filling, yogurt, salsa, and lime wedges on the table. Let everyone assemble their wraps.
A small serving tip
Start with a spoonful of yogurt, then add the filling and salsa. A squeeze of lime brightens the roasted vegetables. Avoid overfilling the first tortilla; a second small wrap is easier to manage than one that will not fold.
