2 tbsp olive oil
350g (12oz) cooked chickpeas
2 tsp red wine vinegar

Preheat the oven to 150°C (350°F). Arrange the carrots in a single layer on a baking tray and drizzle with olive oil. Roast for 25–30 minutes until tender.

In another small mixing bowl, stir together the Greek-style yogurt and vadouvan.

Spread the yogurt on a serving plate, arrange the roasted carrots over the yogurt, and top with the chickpea mixture. Garnish with ground pepper and the reserved carrot leaves. Serve immediately.
