Ingredients
- 4 medium, peeled and cut into 2-inch sticks carrots
- 15 oz, drained and rinsed canned chickpeas
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 6 small flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss 4 medium peeled and cut carrot sticks with 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp honey, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes until tender and caramelized.
- Step 2: While carrots roast, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 15 oz drained and rinsed canned chickpeas, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 3/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes until chickpeas are warmed through and spices fragrant.
- Step 3: In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt with 1 tbsp lemon juice and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley to make a tangy sauce.
- Step 4: Warm 6 small flour tortillas gently in a dry skillet or microwave. Assemble each wrap by spreading 1-2 tbsp of the yogurt sauce, then layering roasted honey-glazed carrots and spiced chickpeas. Fold and wrap tightly for easy transport and picnic enjoyment.
