Discover this unique spiced carrot and chickpea flatbread recipe, topped with a refreshing herbed tahini drizzle. Perfect for healthy homemade bread lovers!
Ingredients
- • chickpea flour: 1 cup
- • whole wheat flour: 1 cup
- • grated carrots: 1 cup
- • water: 3/4 cup
- • olive oil: 3 tablespoons
- • ground cumin: 1 teaspoon
- • ground coriander: 1 teaspoon
- • smoked paprika: 1/2 teaspoon
- • salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- • baking powder: 1 teaspoon
- • tahini: 1/4 cup
- • lemon juice: 2 tablespoons
- • fresh parsley, chopped: 2 tablespoons
- • fresh dill, chopped: 2 tablespoons
- • garlic, minced: 1 clove
- • black sesame seeds: 1 tablespoon for garnish
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2 In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour, whole wheat flour, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, salt, and baking powder. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
- 3 Add the grated carrots and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Slowly pour in the water while stirring to form a thick, smooth batter. Adjust the water quantity slightly if needed to achieve a spreadable consistency.
- 4 Spread the batter evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, forming a flatbread shape about 1/4 inch thick. Use a spatula to smooth the surface.
- 5 Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden and the center is firm to the touch.
- 6 While the flatbread bakes, prepare the herbed tahini drizzle by whisking together tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and dill. Add a splash of water if needed to reach a drizzling consistency.
- 7 Once the flatbread is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Drizzle the herbed tahini over the top and sprinkle with black sesame seeds before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • This spiced carrot and chickpea flatbread pairs wonderfully with a light salad of mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and cucumbers drizzled with lemon vinaigrette. For a heartier meal, serve alongside a bowl of lentil soup or a chickpea stew to complement the bread's flavors. A refreshing mint or cucumber yogurt dip can add a cool contrast to the warm spices of the flatbread. For a beverage, a glass of iced herbal tea or a citrus-infused sparkling water would complement the meal beautifully.
Storage Tips
To store leftovers, let the flatbread cool completely before wrapping it tightly in aluminum foil or placing it in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3 days. For longer storage, cut into portions and freeze for up to 1 month. To reheat, warm in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes or until heated through.
