Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 400F. In a roasting dish, toss the chickpeas and carrots with salt to taste and the leaves removed from the sprigs of thyme. Cook for approx 20 mins stirring halfway. Add the maple syrup, orange juice and zest to the pan and toss well. Cook for a further 5 mins, or until carrots are tender and beginning to brown at edges and the chickpeas are crisp. Serve over cooked rice.
