Gather and prepare your ingredients. Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan.

Place the carrots and parsnips onto a baking tray. Pour over the chickpeas, garam masala, chilli powder, olive oil, and a sprinkle of salt. Toss to coat. Place into the oven and bake for 22-25 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the chickpeas are crispy.

3

Place all ingredients for the chutney into a blender and blend until smooth. Add salt to taste.

Stir together the tamarind paste and date syrup.
