Ingredients
- 16 Dutch carrots (, scrubbed clean and tops trimmed (keep 2cm/1" of tops for looks))
- 600 g / 1.2 lb regular carrots ((5 medium), peeled, cut into quarters (Note 1))
- 3 tbsp maple syrup ((or 2 1/2 tbsp honey))
- 2 tbsp sriracha
- 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp cooking salt / kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 400 g / 14 oz can chickpeas (, drained but not dried)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp cooking salt / kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tbsp sriracha
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1/2 tsp garlic (, finely grated)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 tsp cooking salt / kosher salt
- 2 tbsp finely chopped coriander/cilantro leaves ((sub parsley))
- 3 tbsp toasted pistachios (, finely chopped (Note 3))
Steps
-
Preheat the oven to 200°C/425°F (180°C fan). Arrange the oven racks so they are 20 cm/8" apart (for air circulation).
-
Chickpeas & carrots - Drain the chickpeas then spread on a tray (still wet). Toss the carrots with the Spicy Maple Sauce ingredients. Put both trays in the oven (carrots on the top shelf).
-
Crispy chickpeas - Remove the oven dried chickpeas from the oven after 10 minutes (Note 4). Push them to one side of the tray, drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with the chickpea spices, salt and pepper. Toss well using a rubber spatula, then return to the oven for a further 20 - 25 minutes until they're crispy (listen for the clatter when you shake the tray - or eat one! Note 4).
-
Carrots 30 min - Roast the carrots for 30 minutes, tossing halfway, until they are tender and caramelised on the edges.
-
Yogurt Sauce - Mix the ingredients in a bowl and set aside for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavours to develop.
-
Extra sauce - Mix until combined.
-
Assemble - Spread the yogurt sauce on a plate. Pile on the carrots, scraping out every drop of juices on the tray. Drizzle with extra sauce, if using. Sprinkle over chickpeas, then coriander and pistachios. EAT!
