Preheat oven to 200°C. Toss beetroot cubes with 15ml olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking tray and roast for 25 minutes until tender and caramelised at edges.

Add chickpeas to the pan and stir-fry for 8–10 minutes, shaking occasionally, until golden and crispy on the outside. Season with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Transfer to a plate.

In a small bowl, whisk together red wine vinegar, remaining 5ml olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to make a light dressing.
