Berbere-Spiced Roasted Carrots, Chickpeas and Onions image

This is one of my favorite sheet pan meals. The protein from the chickpeas makes it a complete meal, especially with a cooling dollop of Greek yogurt on the side. You could also use this as a side to roasted chicken or fish fillets or toss with hearty, leafy greens for a substantial fall or winter salad. Feel free to substitute other canned beans or vary the root vegetables (a few parsnips are really nice!) to suit your taste.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 pound medium carrots, peeled, ends trimmed (about 4)
1 large red onion, trimmed and cut into 1-inch dice
One 15.5-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons Berbere, recipe follows
Kosher salt
5 tablespoons Berbere, recipe follows
1/4 cup red wine
2 tablespoons honey
Kosher salt
1/4 cup New Mexico chile powder
2 tablespoons sweet paprika
1 teaspoon ground cayenne
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon granulated onion
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • For the carrots and onions: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F with a rimmed baking sheet on the bottom rack. To cut the carrots, hold a carrot at a 45-degree angle on your cutting board and slice a 1-inch chunk off, rotate the carrot a quarter turn and slice off another chunk. Continue to the end of the carrot and cut all of the carrots this way. (This is a "roll" or "oblique cut," a good technique for cutting long vegetables to give lots of surface area for browning.) Toss the carrots in a large bowl with the onion, chickpeas, olive oil, berbere and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Spread on the preheated baking sheet and roast until the vegetables are tender and nicely caramelized, about 25 minutes.
  • For the awaze sauce: While the carrots and onions roast, place the berbere in a small bowl. Stir in the red wine, honey and 1 teaspoon salt. The sauce should be thick but still able to drizzle. (This makes more awaze than you'll need for the recipe, but it keeps for up to a week in the fridge in an airtight container).
  • Mound the carrots and onions on a serving platter and drizzle with a few tablespoons of awaze sauce. Serve warm.
  • Combine all the spices in a small skillet. Toast over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Let cool completely. This spice blend will keep, tightly sealed, in your pantry for several months. For longer storage, keep in the freezer. Makes about 1/2 cup.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my liking, but I still enjoyed it. The roasted vegetables were delicious, and I loved the crispy chickpeas. I would recommend using less berbere spice if you're not a fan of heat.

The berbere spice really made this dish. It added a wonderful depth of flavor that I wouldn't have gotten from regular cumin or chili powder. I'll be sure to use it again in other recipes.
