At the halfway mark, add the whole, unpeeled garlic clove, and roast for the remaining time. On completion, the garlic should be soft, the cauliflower should be starting to char, and the chickpeas should be crispy.

Pulse until smooth. Add a splash of water if it’s too thick for your liking. On completion, add a pinch of lemon zest and seasoning to taste. Drain the pickling liquid from the carrot and cucumber.
