Ingredients
Roasted Carrots & Chickpeas
- 1 bunch carrot 6 to 8 medium carrots
- 1 oz can chickpeas drained and patter dry, 425 g
- 2 Tbsp olive oil 30 mL
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp pepper
Tahini Sauce
- 2 Tbsp tahini 30 g
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice 30 mL
- 2 Tbsp water 30 mL, cold
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ⅛ tsp salt
To Serve
- 1 cup yogurt can sub dairy-free for vegan, 226 g, plain, Greek
- ½ cup feta cheese can omit for vegan, 75 g, crumbled
- 2 Tbsp Italian parsley chopped
Instructions
- Roast: Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Halve 1 bunch carrots lengthwise, then add them to a baking sheet with 1 15-oz can chickpeas (drained and patted dry). Drizzle carrots and chickpeas with 2 Tbsp olive oil then sprinkle on 1 tsp smoked paprika, and, ½ tsp each salt, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper. Toss to coat evenly, then bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until carrots are tender and chickpeas are crispy. (I like to keep the carrots and chickpeas separate so the chickpeas get nice and crispy!)
- Sauce: Whisk together 2 Tbsp tahini, 2 Tbsp lemon juice, 2 Tbsp cold water, 1 clove garlic, and ⅛ tsp salt.
- Serve: Spread 1 cup plain Greek yogurt onto a large serving platter. Top with roasted carrots and chickpeas, then drizzle on the Tahini Sauce. Sprinkle with ½ cup crumbled feta cheese and 2 Tbsp chopped Italian parsley. Happy eating!
Notes
- Can I use baby carrots instead? Yes, baby carrots work pretty well here (and can also save you some prep time!). Just ensure they’re evenly sized so they roast at the same rate.
- What other seasonings can I use? For bold, unique flavors, experiment with cumin, harissa, za'atar, or curry powder. For a sweeter option, try a sprinkle of cinnamon and smoked paprika.
- To make this recipe in an air fryer, roast the chickpeas and carrots separately at 375°F (190°C). Chickpeas will take about 10-12 minutes, and carrots about 15-18 minutes, depending on their size.
