Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 3 medium peeled carrots cut into 1/2-inch sticks and 1 cup drained chickpeas with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes until carrots are tender and chickpeas slightly crispy.
  2. Step 2: While roasting, in a small bowl whisk together 1 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, and 1 minced garlic clove until well combined.
  3. Step 3: Transfer the roasted carrots and chickpeas to a large mixing bowl and pour the lemon-honey dressing over them. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
  4. Step 4: Sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley over the salad and toss lightly again.
  5. Step 5: Serve the salad warm or at room temperature as a bright and popular side dish.
