Step 1

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7. Peel and chop the red onion into wedges

Step 2

Deseed the pepper (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and cut into strips

Step 3

Add the red onion wedges and pepper strips to a large, deep baking tray along with the baby plum tomatoes, most of the ras el hanout (save some for later) and a generous drizzle of vegetable oil. Give everything a good mix up and put the tray in the oven for an initial 10 min

Step 4

While the vegetables are cooking, boil a kettle

Step 5

Combine the honey with half of the harissa in a wide, shallow bowl

Add the Greek cheese (whole) to the bowl and carefully coat in the harissa-honey marinade

Step 7

Drain and rinse the chickpeas

Step 8

Once the vegetables have had an initial 10 min, remove the tray from the oven from the oven and pour in the tomato stock

Give everything a good mix up and make a space in the middle of the tray

Step 12

Add the harissa-honey Greek cheese to the space in the tray, along with any remaining marinade

Step 13

Return the tray to the oven for a further 20-25 min, or until the vegetables are cooked through and the Greek cheese is soft – this is your spiced chickpea tray bake with harissa-honey Greek cheese

Step 14

While everything's cooking, chop the pittas into bite-sized triangles

Step 15

Add the pitta triangles to a separate baking tray with a drizzle of olive oil, the remaining ras el hanout and the toasted sesame seeds

Step 16

Give it a mix up and put the tray in the oven for 8-10 min or until golden and crispy – these are your seeded pitta triangles
