Ingredients

1 red onion, cut into wedges
3 mixed peppers, sliced
Splash of olive oil
400g tinned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 tsp sweet smoked paprika
2 tbsp chopped fresh flatleaf parsley
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
4 slices of bread, toasted
4-8 tbsp aioli (garlic mayonnaise)
140g tinned sardines in oil, drained

Method

Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Toss the onion and peppers with a splash of oil in a roasting tray and cook for 15 minutes.
Add the chickpeas and smoked paprika, toss again, then return to the oven for 12-15 minutes to crisp the chickpeas. Remove from the oven and mix in the parsley, lemon zest and lemon juice.
Spread each hot piece of toast with 1-2 tbsp of aioli, then spoon the roast veg and chickpeas mixture over. Top with the sardines, to serve.
