Cookware
baking sheet pan · can opener · chef's knife · citrus juicer (optional) · colander · cutting board · garlic press (optional) · grater · measuring cups · measuring spoons · mixing bowls · oven mitts · parchment paper · small saucepan · spatula · stirring spoon · vegetable peeler · whisk or fork
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F with the rack in the center. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper if you have it.
- Scrub and dry the carrots, then peel and cut them in half lengthwise before spreading them on the lined sheet pan.
- Drizzle the carrots with oil and honey, sprinkle with the listed spices, and slide the pan into the oven. Roast until the carrots are tender, about 15–20 minutes.
- Rinse quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer, then simmer it with the broth in a small saucepan until fluffy and the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.
- While the quinoa cooks, strip the parsley leaves from the stems, mince the leaves, and place them in a medium bowl. Peel and mince the garlic and zest the lime, adding both to the parsley bowl along with a little salt and pepper and a drizzle of oil.
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Add them to the bowl with the lime zest and corn; toss to coat. When there are about 5 minutes left on the carrots, spread this mixture on the sheet pan with the carrots to roast.
- Whisk together the lime juice, yogurt, and cumin with a pinch of salt until smooth. Reserve.
- To serve, divide the quinoa among bowls, top with roasted carrots, the corn-chickpea mixture, and a drizzle of cumin yogurt. Finish with a little parsley from the reserved bunch.
Two tips
- Make ahead: roast the carrots and chickpeas earlier in the day and rewarm with the quinoa just before serving.
- Serving idea: brighten leftovers with a final squeeze of lime and an extra drizzle of olive oil if available.
