*******ROASTED CHICKPEAS*******

You will need 2 cans of chickpeas (400 grams each - drained and rinsed) and 2 tbs olive oil.

I chose some (2 tsp) spicy mingle seasoning, (1tsp) ground cumin seeds, (1/2 tsp) pink himilayan sea salt, (2 -3 tbs) sesame seeds and (1 tbs) dried oregano leaves. Once your chickpeas are fully seasoned and laid out on a single even layer on your tray, pop them into the oven at 200C or 400 F for 30 - 40 minutes.

Let them cool completely before storing them in an airtight bag or container. They are tasty as a snack on their own, or on top of salads or soups.

*******KALE AND CASHEW SOUP*******

- 1 cup of unsalted cashews
- 5 handfuls of kale
- 1000ml or 4 cups water
- 2 small onions
- 2 veggie stock cubes
- 1 tbs minced garlic
- 2 sticks (300g celery)

Blend everything in your vitamix blender for 7 minutes or so until warm. Alternatively, blend in your food processor or blender and heat it up.

Feel free to thicken the soup to your desire by blending more cashews and kale leaves into your soup.

Season it with some salt and pepper and then store in mason jars to eat during the week.

Garnish with kale leaves and roasted chickpeas.

*******VEGAN BURGER RECIPE =*******

- 2 tins (800g) of red kidney beans (rinsed)
- 3 tbs oats
- 1 tbs spicy seasoning
- 1 tbs curry powder
- 1 bunch of fresh coriander/cilantro leaves
- 2 tbs chia sesds
- juice from 2 small limes

Pulse everything together (but not too much) in your food processor.

Once you’ve pulsed up your ingredients shape and press your mixture into burgers. I made 8 pieces of vegan burger patties in total.

Spray pan with olive oil on a medium heat and cook patties for around 10 minutes until all cooked through and golden.

Flip halfway to make sure they cook evenly and press them down into the hot pan until they are about 2 cm thick.

Delicious with a dollop of ketchup!

*******ROASTED PUMPKIN WALNUT SPINACH SALAD*******

- 700g diced butternut pumpkin
- 2 tbs olive oil

Mix everything well so that your pumpkin is evenly coated and place it in the oven at 220 C or 420 F for abut 15 minutes until your pumpkin is golden.

Sprinkle 1 and a half cups of crushed walnuts and 3 tbs sesame seeds on top of cooked pumpkin and put tray back into oven for a further 5 minutes until the sesame seeds and walnuts are lightly toasted.

Mix the dressing together - olive oil (2tbs), dijon mustard (2 tbs), maple syrup (1tbs) and lemon juice (1tbs).

Mix spinach leaves into your pumpkin mixture and enjoy!
