Ingredients

Method

  1. Heat oven to 200°C/400°F. Toss carrots with oil, harissa and salt. Roast for 25–30 minutes until tender.
  2. Warm lentils in a saucepan with 2 tbsp water. Mix yogurt and lemon juice separately.
  3. Divide lentils between bowls, add carrots and yogurt sauce, then scatter with parsley.
A little note

Harissa strength varies; taste the paste before adding more.

Cooking tips

  • Coat carrots evenly with harissa rather than leaving thick patches that may scorch.
  • Harissa varies in heat, so begin with less if yours is particularly spicy and serve extra alongside.

Ingredient swaps

Use cooked green or brown lentils in the same weight. Dry lentils must be cooked separately first.
