How to make roasted asparagus hummus

Preheat the oven to 200°C (180° fan) gas 6.
Toss the asparagus with the olive oil and some salt and pepper on a baking tray.
Roast for 6-8 minutes until starting to colour at the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool briefly.
Chop the asparagus and combine with the chickpeas, garlic, lemon juice, and tahini in a food processor.
Blend on high until smooth, slowly adding the extra-virgin olive oil through the feeder spout until incorporated.
Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon into a serving dish.
Top the asparagus hummus with sliced spring onion greens and serve with crostini on the side.
