Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, toss 2 cups drained canned chickpeas and 4 medium peeled and cut carrots (into 1/2-inch sticks) with 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground paprika, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 tsp kosher salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until all pieces are evenly coated and fragrant.
2. Step 2: Spread the chickpeas and carrots in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the carrots are tender and the chickpeas are slightly crispy at the edges.
3. Step 3: Remove from the oven and immediately toss with 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro and 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice for a bright finishing touch. Serve warm or at room temperature.
