• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Slice capsicum in half lengthways, then remove stem and seeds. • Place capsicum on a lined oven tray. Brush capsicum with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange cut-side up and roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.

Cook half the garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. • Transfer garlic oil to a small bowl, then add Greek-style yoghurt and lemon zest. Season to taste.
• When capsicum has 5 minutes remaining, return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook chickpeas and carrot until tender, 2-3 minutes. • SPICY!
