Serves 2
Ingredients
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 1 cup cooked chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 170g organic soba noodles
- ½ cucumber, thinly sliced
- 6 radishes, thinly sliced
- Handful of baby greens (arugula, spinach, or similar)
- ¼ tsp paprika
- Sesame seeds
- Chili flakes
- 1 lime, halved, for serving
Sauce:
- 3 tbsp tahini
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp warm water, more as needed
- ¼ tbsp coconut or palm sugar
- 1 tsp chili flakes (adjust to taste)

Method
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
- Place the carrots and chickpeas on a baking tray, drizzle with cooking olive oil, season with paprika, salt and pepper, and toss. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the carrots are tender but still have a bite.
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Prepare the noodles according to the instructions on the package, cooking until al dente. Drain and rinse in cold water.
