How to Make It

01
Coat and roast whole

Toss whole peeled carrots with harissa, olive oil, cumin, salt. Roast 200°C for 35 minutes until deeply caramelised and beginning to char at edges.

02
Crisp the chickpeas

Add drained chickpeas to carrot tray for the last 15 minutes. They absorb the harissa-carrot juices and develop crispy edges.

03
Make lemon yoghurt

Stir tahini and preserved lemon through yoghurt. The preserved lemon replaces salt — use it generously.

04
Plate on yoghurt

Spread yoghurt over platter. Arrange whole carrots and chickpeas over the top. Scatter fresh herbs generously. Drizzle more harissa oil.
