  • 1 can Chickpeas Offer protein and fiber; if using dried, soak and cook ahead of time for a great texture.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Adds richness and helps with roasting; ensure a light coating to avoid steaming the veggies.

For the Tahini Dressing
  • 1/4 cup Tahini Serves as a creamy dressing base, lending richness; can be substituted with yogurt or nut butter if preferred.
  • 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup Adds a hint of sweetness to the tahini dressing; substitute with agave nectar or honey for non-vegan options.
  • 2 tablespoons Water Helps achieve the desired dressing consistency; add only when ready to serve for the best texture.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and peel the carrots, then slice them into even pieces. Rinse canned chickpeas under cold water and pat dry or ensure dried chickpeas are soaked and cooked beforehand.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped carrots and chickpeas. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle the spices. Toss until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the seasoned carrots and chickpeas onto a large sheet pan in a single layer. Roast for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through.
  5. While the veggies roast, whisk together tahini, maple syrup, and a splash of water until smooth and creamy. Adjust consistency as needed.
  6. Once roasted, let the mixture cool slightly, then spoon into serving bowls and drizzle with tahini dressing.
