Line baking tray with baking paper. Return chickpeas to baking tray in a single layer. Bake for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway, or until crisp.

  3. Combine cucumber, yoghurt and mint in a small bowl, season with salt and pepper and gently toss to combine.
  4. Fill each pita bread with cucumber mixture, roasted chickpeas, pickled onions and salad leaves. Fold and serve.
