400gcan chickpeas
3spring onions

FOR THE LEMON DRESSING:
1tspDijon mustard
2Tbsp fresh lemon juice
3Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1garlic clove, grated
1tsp grated ginger
1-2 tspmaple syrup
1tsp soya sauce
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C / 180°C fan / gas mark 6.
Wash and scrub the Jerusalem artichokes to remove any dirt.
Cut the Jerusalem artichokes into 2cm / 0.8 inch chunks and spread them in a deep oven tray. Drizzle with some olive oil. Place the tray in the oven for 15 mins.
While the Jerusalem artichokes are in the oven, cut the cherry tomatoes in halves. Remove and discard the hard stalks from the kale branches. Chop the kale leaves roughly. Chop the spring onions and set them aside.
Prepare the dressing by whisking together the mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, grated garlic, grated ginger, maple syrup and soya sauce. Set aside.
Once the Jerusalem artichokes have been roasting for 15 mins, add the halved cherry tomatoes to the tray.
5 minutes later, add the chopped kale and shredded coconut. Roast all together for 10 minutes, tossing the ingredients after 5 mins so that the kale does not burn.
Add the drained chickpeas and roast for another 5 mins.
Remove the tray in the oven and toss all the ingredients together with the lemon dressing. Season to taste with salt & pepper.
Serve straight away with the spring onions sprinkled on top. This salad is best eaten hot or warm.
