Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 F).
Rinse the canned chickpeas well and drain them.
Put the chickpeas into a bowl and add olive oil, cumin, ground paprika, chili flakes and salt. Toss.
Put the chickpeas on a baking sheet covered with baking parchment. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes. Shake the chickpeas after 15 minutes. If the chickpeas aren’t crunchy after 30 minutes, you can put them in 5 minutes more.
Put the lettuce into a bowl.
Wash the tomatoes and cucumber. Halve the tomatoes and dice the cucumber. Add to the lettuce.
Mix all ingredients for the dressing together in a bowl.
Add the chickpeas, pumpkin seeds and the dressing to the salad. Toss.

Notes

*Chickpeas are limited low FODMAP and contain an average amount of galactans at a serving of 84 gram. Also the tahin that is used in the dressing contains galactans.

If you eat a maximum of 1/4 of this recipe for a serving, this is a safe serving and you won’t go beyond the maximum amount for galactans.

If you have finished the reintroduction phase and you know that you tolerate galactans, you can also add some more chickpeas if you prefer.

**Optionally you can replace 80 gram of the lettuce (1 cup) with fresh kale. That combines perfectly with the roasted chickpeas.
