Preparation
Step 1
Pre-heat the oven to 180-200 degrees.
Slice the carrots into bitesize chunks, coat in the oil and bake in a tray for around 25mins or until nicely browned. Remove from the oven and stir through the chickpeas. While it cools slightly, make the pesto.
Step 2
Blend all the pesto ingredients together in a mini chopper until creamy with just a little texture left. Drizle over the carrots and chickpeas and stir well to mix.
Finish with a sprinkling of the gomasio and the extra basil leaves. I like to serve this with a big green salad- delish!
*gomasio can be found in good health stores.
