Can I make this recipe gluten-free?

Yes. Maple-Roast Carrots with Crispy Chickpeas and Creamy Garlic Yogurt is naturally gluten-free if you use plain yogurt without additives. Check labels on canned chickpeas and any spices.

How do I get really crispy chickpeas?

Dry chickpeas thoroughly. Roast on a very hot pan with space between them. Add chickpeas in the last 10–15 minutes and shake the pan once. If needed, roast a few extra minutes until crisp.

Can I use honey instead of maple syrup?

Yes. Honey will work but it has a different flavor. It still helps caramelize the carrots. For strict vegan diets, stick with maple syrup.

How long will the dish keep?

Store separated components in the fridge. Carrots and chickpeas keep 3 days. Yogurt keeps 4–5 days. Re-crisp the chickpeas in a hot oven before serving.
