Method

Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Add the potatoes to a baking tray, drizzle with 1 tbsp oil and season; toss to coat, then bake for 35-40 mins, turning halfway, until crispy and golden.
Meanwhile, pulse the chickpeas in a food processor until roughly chopped. Add the carrots, onion, harissa, chilli, garlic and half the lemon zest; season and blitz until it holds together but still has some texture. Divide into 4 and shape into patties about 2cm thick and 8-9cm wide.
Heat ½ tbsp oil in a nonstick frying pan over a high heat. Fry 2 patties for 2-3 mins each side until golden all over; transfer to a baking tray. Repeat, then bake the patties for 15 mins until deep golden and firmed. Add the halved rolls to the tray for the last 2 mins to warm through.
Meanwhile, toss together the cabbage, spring onions, lemon juice and 200g yogurt in a mixing bowl with some seasoning. Divide the falafel burgers between the warm rolls, top with slaw and sandwich with the roll lids. Stir the remaining lemon zest into the remaining 150g yogurt with a little black pepper. Serve alongside the burgers with the wedges and remaining slaw on the side.

Freezing and defrosting guidelines
