Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Peel and slice 3 carrots into thin rounds. Drain and rinse 1 can chickpeas. Toss both with 2 tbsp olive oil and 1/4 tsp salt on a baking sheet.

  2. Step 2

    Roast carrots and chickpeas for 20-25 minutes, until carrots are tender and chickpeas are crispy, shaking the pan halfway.

    While roasting, strip leaves from 1 bunch kale and chop finely. Place in a large bowl with 2 cups shredded purple cabbage.

  4. Step 4

    In a small bowl, whisk 3 tbsp tahini, juice of 1 lemon, 1 tbsp olive oil, and 1/4 tsp salt. Add 2-3 tbsp water, whisking until smooth and pourable.

  5. Step 5

    Pour dressing over kale and cabbage. Massage with your hands for 2 minutes, until kale is softened and shiny.

  6. Step 6

    Add roasted carrots and chickpeas to the bowl. Toss everything together and serve warm or at room temperature.
