- 2 garlic clove, crushed
- 2 tsp ras-el-hanout
- 1 small cauliflower, leaves included, broken into small florets
- 1 red pepper, deseeded and cut into thick wedges

For the yoghurt sauce
- 200g/7oz low-fat natural yoghurt

Method
Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7.
Whisk the oil, lemon juice, garlic and ras el hanout together in a large bowl. Add the vegetables and chickpeas, season with a pinch of salt and pepper and mix thoroughly.
Tip everything into a large roasting tin and shake out into an even layer. Roast for 45 minutes, giving everything a shake and a mix halfway through cooking.
Meanwhile, mix the yoghurt and mint sauce in a small bowl and season with a pinch of salt.
Remove the vegetables from the oven and stir through the parsley and sesame seeds.
Warm the pitta breads in the oven for a few minutes, then split and stuff with the roast vegetables, chickpeas and shredded lettuce. Serve with both the yoghurt and chilli sauce.
