    These rosti are easy to customise. I'd suggest going for a
    combination of at least 2 root vegetables. They freeze well, too,
    making those lazy weekend brunches that much easier

    Heat the oven to 200?C (180?C fan)/390?F/gas mark 6 and line a
    baking sheet with baking paper.

    Pat the drained chickpeas dry with kitchen towel, then tip them on to
    the lined sheet.

    Add the olive oil, salt and spices, toss well, then bake for 15 to
    20 minutes, until crisp.

    For the salad, use your hands to mix all the ingredients in a bowl,
    gently massaging the parsley and red onion as you do so.

    You can do this a few hours in advance, or even the night before.

    For the aioli, mix all the ingredients in a bowl and season to taste.

    In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients for the rosti.

    Put a generous glug of neutral oil in a frying pan on a low-medium
    heat, then spoon in half the rosti mixture and flatten into a circle.

    Leave to cook for five to seven minutes, until the edges crisp up and
    the base releases itself from the pan, then carefully flip and cook
    for another five to seven minutes on the other side, until golden.

    Transfer to a plate and keep warm in the residual heat of the oven
    while you repeat with the remaining rosti mix.

    If you're serving more people, or want an easier time flipping the
    rosti, make them smaller, but bear in mind that the cooking time per
    side will be shorter.

    To assemble, put the rosti on a platter, drizzle the mustard aioli
    on top, followed by a sprinkling of the crisp chickpeas and a
    generous heap of the pickled salad.

    Save any leftover chickpeas or aioli to use in salads or sandwiches.
