Ingredients

  • For the Carrots and Chickpeas:
  • 15 oz. can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 1/2 lbs. thin carrots
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 scallions (white and light green parts), sliced
  • 3 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Directions

  1. For the carrots and chickpeas, preheat the oven to 425.

  4. Roast, giving the pan a shake about halfway through, for 35-40 minutes, until the carrots ate tender.

  5. For the vinaigrette, in a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, salt, pepper and oil. Stir in the scallions, parsley and feta.

  6. Arrange the roasted carrots and chickpeas on a serving plate and spoon the vinaigrette over the top.
