Simply crisp up mixed seeds with a drained tin of chickpeas and some spices and use to top my cucumber & cream cheese bites, carrot sticks & houmous, or simply enjoy as they are." See method

  1. Drain the chickpeas well and pat dry with kitchen paper, then place in a non-stick frying pan over a high heat with the seeds, Cajun seasoning and ½ tablespoon of olive oil. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until golden and crisp, stirring regularly.

Serving suggestion: To make the cucumber & cream cheese bites, slice the cucumber in half lengthways, scoop out and discard the seeds, then cut into little boats. Stuff each boat with cream cheese and sprinkle with a pinch of the chickpea and seed mix. 

Serving suggestion: For the carrot sticks & houmous, trim, peel and slice the carrot into batons. Serve with the houmous topped with a pinch of the chickpea and seed mix, for dunking.
