Spicy Carrot Ribbons with Chickpea Crumbs

- Using a chef’s knife, mince and mash the garlic into a paste with a pinch of salt. Transfer garlic to a large bowl. Zest and juice the limes into bowl. Add the jalapeño and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. Whisking constantly, drizzle in 120 ml of olive oil. Add 3 tbsp vinaigrette to a small bowl and set aside.
- Wash and peel the carrots. Using a vegetable peeler, shave the carrots into thin, long ribbons. Place carrot ribbons into large bowl with vinaigrette and toss to coat. Let marinate at room temperature 1 hour, tossing every 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 200C/400F. To a food processor, add the well-drained chickpeas and pulse until fine crumbs form. Transfer to a baking tray and drizzle with remaining 2 tbsp of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Bake 25–30 minutes, until crisp, stirring halfway through.
- To serve, transfer marinated squash ribbons to a platter and spoon the reserved vinaigrette over top. Sprinkle with the chickpea crumbs and pomegranate seeds. If there are extra chickpea crumbs, keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Hello,
Sounds tasty, thanks for sharing the recipe!

Wow !! That looks delicious, Angie 👍👍
Looks nice and colourful. I do not do chickpeas as they are sometimes hard on stomach, but they are defo a staple in glufree cooking together with red lentils which I can digest.
I love how healthy this is and the colors are so pretty for Easter!
Not only does that look good, but it appears healthy too.
Debe saber muy bien, si el picante no es mucho, no me importa dejarlo en este caso porque creo que la combinación de ingredientes es muy buena.
