Quick-and-easy air-fryer baklava

“Salty, crunchy chickpeas (thanks, air-fryer!), sweet, sticky raisins and zingy fresh herbs take Woolies’ readymade hummus from great to gobsmacking. They’re also a great addition to a cheeseboard.”- Hannah Lewry
1. Toss the chickpeas in the olive oil, sea salt and paprika, then air-fry at 200°C for 3–5 minutes, until crispy and golden.
2. To make the candied raisins, bring the sugar and water to a simmer in a small saucepan over a medium heat. Add the star anise and simmer for 4–5 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Add the raisins, then remove the pan from the heat and allow to stand for 15 minutes.
3. To assemble, spoon the hummus onto a large plate and swirl to make a well in the middle. Top with the candied raisins, macadamias and chickpeas. Toss the herbs in a squeeze of lemon juice, olive oil, salt and sprinkle over the dip.
4. Serve with antipasti such as white anchovies, chargrilled Padrón peppers and toasted focaccia.
