Method
step 1
Heat the oven to 220C/200C/gas 7 or the air fryer to 200C. Scrub the carrots, if needed, but don’t peel – trim, halve and cut into bite-sized batons. Tip the carrots onto a baking tray or into the air fryer basket. Zest and juice the orange. Add 1 tbsp oil, the orange zest, chipotle paste and thyme sprigs to the carrots. Mash the garlic using the flat side of a knife blade, then add to the tray or basket. Season and toss to coat the carrots, then roast or air-fry for 25-30 mins, tossing halfway, until tender and slightly charred in spots.
step 2
Meanwhile, tear or blitz a quarter of 1 flatbread into small breadcrumbs. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and fry the crumbs for 3-4 mins until golden and crisp. Finely chop the almonds and stir these in along with the seeds and thyme, and season. Cook for 2 mins more until golden and toasted. Season again and remove from the heat.
step 3
For the feta yogurt, mash the feta in a bowl using a fork. Stir in the yogurt and season. Blitz using a hand blender if you prefer a smoother consistency. Cut the remaining flatbreads into triangles and warm in the air fryer or oven below the carrots for 3 mins.
step 4
Spoon the yogurt onto plates, then pile the carrots on top with any oil from the tray or basket. Squeeze over the orange juice, drizzle over some olive oil, then sprinkle over the crumbs. Serve with the flatbreads for scooping.
