Ingredients
  

For the roasted carrots:
  • 1 bunch carrots with greens, trimmed and halved lengthwise if large (750 g)
  • 2 tablespoons harissa spice mix
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons cumin seeds
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
For the butter bean salad:
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 small red onion, finely diced
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 x 400g can butter bean (or cannellini beans), drained and rinsed
  • juice from 1/2 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped dill
  • Sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
For the yoghurt sauce:
  • 170 g Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

Instructions
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F / 200°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the harissa, olive oil, cumin, garlic, maple syrup and sea salt. Toss with the carrots until well coated and spread in an even layer on the baking sheet (see tips below).
  3. Roast for 30–35 minutes, turning halfway, until tender.
  4. Meanwhile, prepare the beans and the yoghurt sauce. In a medium bowl, mix together the butter bean salad ingredients (olive oil, red onion, garlic, beans, lemon juice, and herbs) Season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together the yogurt with the olive oil, lemon juice and parsley. Set aside.
  6. To serve, transfer the bean salad to a serving platter. Arrange the roasted carrots with harissa over the beans and spoon a little yogurt over top. Garnish with additional herbs, if desired, and serve with the remaining yoghurt on the side.
  7. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Harissa is a great flavor booster to whatever dish it’s added to. You can find it well stocked grocery stores or online.
  • The carrots can either be roasted on a baking sheet which gives them a caramelised flavor, or in a roasting pan/casserole dish. If the carrots are roasted closer together they will steam rather than caramelise, but this also prevents bits of the harrisa mixture from over-browning. Both methods work well.
  • Inspired and lightly adapted from Diane Henry's book "Simple".
