Instructions
Creating Spicy Maple Roast Carrots with Crispy Chickpeas and Yogurt Sauce is straightforward when you follow these steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures a perfect roast for the carrots and chickpeas.
2. Prepare Carrots and Chickpeas: In a large bowl, combine the sliced carrots and chickpeas. Drizzle in the olive oil and maple syrup. Add the smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper, tossing well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
3. Roast Vegetables: Spread the carrot and chickpea mixture evenly on a large baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and starting to caramelize, and the chickpeas are crispy.
4. Make Yogurt Sauce: While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the yogurt sauce. In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with lemon juice, adding a pinch of salt. Stir well until smooth and creamy.
5. Assemble and Serve: Once the carrots and chickpeas are roasted to perfection, remove them from the oven. Serve them warm, drizzled with the yogurt sauce, and garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
