Roasting Process
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (425°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
  2. Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas, spread them on one prepared tray, and pat dry with a paper towel.
  3. Peel and cut the carrots into even pieces. Combine with maple syrup, sriracha, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Toss well.
  4. Place the tray with chickpeas in the oven and roast for 10 minutes, then toss and roast for an additional 20-25 minutes until golden and crispy.
  5. Add carrots to the second tray and roast for about 30 minutes, turning halfway through until caramelized.
  6. Mix yogurt, finely grated garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Let the sauce sit for at least 20 minutes.
  7. On a serving plate, spread the yogurt sauce, arrange roasted carrots and chickpeas, and garnish with cilantro and pistachios.
