Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 190C / fan 170C / gas mark 5

  • Pull out a large frying pan, a small bowl, a sieve & a peeler

Roast the chickpeas

  • Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then thoroughly dry
  • Place the chickpeas onto the lined baking tray and toss with half the tamari, half the shichimi togarashi, 1 tbsp oil and a pinch of salt. Roast for 15 mins

Prep & make the miso sauce

  • Meanwhile, peel and dice the mango into 1cm chunks. Trim and thinly slice the radishes. Dice the cucumber into 2cm chunks. Rinse the kale leaves, then strip from the stalks and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • Add the radish to the large bowl with the juice from half the lime
