Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). In a small bowl, mix turmeric, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken, making sure to get under the skin as well.

  2. 2

    Roast the Chicken

    Place the chicken in a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Baste the chicken with its juices halfway through cooking.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Carrot Puree

    While the chicken is roasting, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add chopped carrots and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add chicken broth and blend until smooth. Season with salt to taste.

  4. 4

    Grill Asparagus

    Toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill on medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until tender and slightly charred.

  5. 5

    Crispy Carrots

    Using a vegetable peeler, shave some carrots into thin strips. Heat oil in a pan and fry the carrot strips until crispy. Drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Carve the roasted chicken and serve with carrot puree, grilled asparagus, crispy carrots, and drizzled chermoula sauce on top.
