Roasted chickpea and carrot bowls with lemon yogurt
Ingredients
How to make it
- Heat the oven to 220°C / 425°F. Pat the chickpeas dry and spread them with the carrots on a large tray.
- Toss with oil, cumin, paprika and salt. Roast for about 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway, until the carrots are tender and the chickpeas lightly crisp.
- Mix yogurt with lemon juice. Add a teaspoon of water at a time if a thinner sauce is wanted.
- Divide the hot rice between two bowls. Add the roasted vegetables and chickpeas, then spoon over the dressing. Serve promptly.
Make it work in your kitchen
Crowding the tray traps steam, so use two trays if the ingredients form a thick layer. For a dairy-free version, use an unsweetened plant-based yogurt that suits your dietary needs. Store the dressing separately from any promptly chilled leftovers. The photograph illustrates a grain-bowl style rather than a tested serving of this exact recipe.
