# Instructions:
01 -
Get your oven hot at 200°C/425°F (180°C with fan). Make sure oven racks are 20cm apart for good air flow.
02 -
Spread wet drained chickpeas on tray. Mix carrots with all Sweet Hot Glaze stuff. Put both trays in the hot oven, with carrots on the top.
03 -
Take chickpeas out after 10 mins. Push them to one side, add oil and all the spices, mix well. Put back in oven for another 20-25 mins until they're crunchy.
04 -
Let carrots cook for 30 mins total, giving them a toss halfway. They should get soft and brown at the edges.
05 -
Stir all yogurt dressing stuff in a bowl. Let it sit around for 20 mins so flavors can mix well.
06 -
If you want more kick, just mix the maple syrup and sriracha for an extra drizzle.
07 -
Smear yogurt sauce on your plate. Add the carrots with all their pan juices. Pour on extra sauce if you made it. Scatter chickpeas, coriander, and pistachios on top.
# Notes:
01 -
The heat isn't too strong since cooking tones down the sriracha
02 -
The chickpeas will go soft after a couple hours
03 -
Works as either a small main dish or a tasty side
