    Roasted vegetable chickpea pate - this is the BEST way I've found to make vegan pate - it's the perfect texture!

    Who else is madly in love with roasted veg?

    I've said it before and I'll almost certainly say it again - roasting is the less supernatural (and slightly more time-consuming) version of waving a magic wand over vegetables. It can literally transform something from a hard, bland lump to a sweet, sticky, crispy nugget of deliciousness.

    (and apparently this is a more poetic version of a normal Amuse Your Bouche post...)

    However, as much as I love roasted veg, I don't want to eat them day after day - being a food blogger, I'm used to rarely repeating the same meal twice! So whenever I have leftover vegetables, I try to repurpose them in some way. For me, leftover roasted veg will now forever lead to roasted vegetable chickpea pâté!

    Roasted vegetable chickpea pate - this is the BEST way I've found to make vegan pate - it's the perfect texture!

    I've made a similar vegan pâté before (walnut and roasted garlic chickpea pâté) - chickpeas and walnuts give such a great pâté-like base, and you can then add whatever flavourings you like. Last time I went for roasted garlic, this time I just crammed in as many roasted vegetables as I could fit into my food processor. The result was completely amazing - you get all the flavours of the roasted veg (slightly sweet, slightly earthy), in a perfectly spreadable format.

    I served my roasted vegetable pâté with some pitta bread for dipping, but you could also go for veggie sticks (if you want a veg overload), or you could even go super fancy and serve it with toast triangles (crusts removed, of course). This vegan chickpea pâté would be a great quick appetiser to whip up when you have friends over, to serve with some wine!

        Hi, I'm not sure as I don't work in those measurements. It doesn't need to be too accurate though, just a small handful of walnuts, a good heap of roasted veg and a cup or so of chickpeas. Just keep adjusting until you like the consistency :)

    Hi, I'm Becca! I've been a vegetarian for over 25 years, and unlike most of my other childhood pursuits, I actually stuck with it! I love cooking vegetarian food that's full of flavour, but doesn't take a lot of effort to make.
