- 1 cup cooked quinoa or rice (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- In a large bowl, toss the carrots and chickpeas with olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.

- For more heat, include chili flakes or cayenne pepper.
