A little effort

Roast carrots for a quick salad or an easy midweek meal for two. Instead of roasting the chickpeas as well, they are mixed with the carrots once roasted, so they retain their lovely texture. Cumin adds a subtle spice and feta crumbled over the top is all it needs. Serve with crusty bread on the side if you like
