Sweet and spicy from the carrots.
Crunchy and savoury from the chickpeas.
Creamy and cooling from the lemony garlic yogurt sauce.
It is so, so, SO very good!
I also think youll appreciate the convenience of the making process.
How much do you wish that spoon was heading towards your mouth right now??
Ingredients
Heres what you’re gonna wanna make these loaded spicy maple roast carrots.
Actually not that much!
Ive just broken it up into groups for ease of reading.
Just cut them in quarters or half lengthwise so they are around the same width as dutch carrots.
Spicy maple sauce for roasting
Just sriracha (for spiciness and vinegar) and maple syrup.
It also adds starch which turns it into meal-territory.
lemon garlic yogurt sauce
Heres what you need for the yogurt sauce.
How to make it

Thats really all it takes!

Youll know just by shaking the tray when theyre ready as they will clatter noisily around on the tray.
