Recipe:

Serves 2

Ingredients

Roasted Chickpeas and Veggies:
– 2 cups (330 g) cooked chickpeas, rinsed and drained
– 1 medium red onion, cut into 6 wedges
– 2 cups (200 g) cauliflower florets
– 2 medium carrots, cut on the bias
– 1 tbsp (15 ml) maple syrup
– 1 tbsp (15 g) harissa
– 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
– 1 tsp (2 g) ground cumin
– 1/4 tsp (1 g) ground turmeric
– sea salt flakes, to taste
– freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Mint Yogurt Sauce:
– 1 cup (245 g) dairy-free yogurt (soy works great)
– 1 large garlic clove, minced
– 2 tbsp (30 g) hulled tahini
– 1 tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice
– 1/3 cup (10 g) fresh mint leaves, finely chopped

Toppings:
– 2 tbsp (16 g) chopped pistachios

Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C) fan-forced. Line a large sheet pan.
2. Pat dry the chickpeas in a clean kitchen towel for the crispiest result. Add the chickpeas, red onion, cauliflower, and carrots to the pan. In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup, harissa, olive oil, cumin, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Pour on the veggies. Toss well, spread out evenly, then roast for 35 minutes, tossing once halfway, until the chickpeas are slightly crisp and the veggies are caramelized.
3. In a bowl, stir together the yogurt, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, and mint. Mix for a full minute to integrate the tahini.
4. Spoon the mint yogurt sauce into bowls. Top with the roasted chickpeas and veggies, then finish with pistachios. Enjoy!

Notes:
– Don’t overcrowd the pan. If everything is piled up, it steams instead of roasting. Use two sheet pans if needed.
– Harissa brands vary in heat level. Start with 1 tbsp and add more at the table if you want it spicier.
– Store roasted chickpeas and veggies separately from the sauce, then assemble when ready to eat.
