Directions

Preheat the oven to 200C.
Tumble the carrots into a large roasting tray with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the sumac, cumin, chilli flakes, coriander seeds, honey and a good pinch of salt and toss well to coat. Roast for an initial 30-35 minutes, stirring half-way through, until the carrots are sticky and a little crisp on the edges.
Meanwhile, cook the bulgur wheat as per packet instructions. Drain, fluff with a fork and add to a large mixing bowl with one tablespoon of olive oil, the fresh herbs, and lemon juice. Season well with a good pinch of salt and cracked black pepper and mix to combine. Set aside.
For the yogurt, add all of the ingredients to a bowl and mix well to combine. You want it to be fairly thick as this will create the base of the dish - but add a splash of water to loosen if necessary. Check for seasoning.
Once the carrots are cooked, remove from the oven. Pour the chickpeas, add an extra squeeze of honey and toss everything to coat in the oils and spices.
To serve, spread the yogurt onto the base of a serving platter. Tumble over the carrots and chickpeas and top with the remaning fresh herbs. Serve with the bulgur wheat and warm pittas to mop up the yogurt.
