Roasted Carrots, Spiced Chickpeas with Tahini Yoghurt Dressing
This can also be made with regular sized carrots too! If you happened to have baby carrots, you can also use the carrot tops to make our parsley & carrot top pesto and garnish your dish with the same seeds/nuts that you make your pesto with. It's best to make your pesto first, as it can store in your fridge until serving!
