Roasted carrots and chickpeas with yogurt sauce is a vibrant, hearty vegetarian dish that combines caramelized roasted vegetables with a creamy, tangy yogurt drizzle—perfect as a side or light main.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  2. Toss carrots and chickpeas with olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread evenly on baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, tossing halfway, until carrots are tender and chickpeas are crispy.
