Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken with garam masala, salt, and pepper.
Form the mixture into rustic meatballs about 1-1.5 inches in diameter.
Wash and slice your carrots into even sticks and arrange them around the meatballs on the sheet pan.
Drizzle with olive oil to ensure both the carrots and meatballs are coated.
Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the meatballs reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Prepare the yogurt sauce by mixing yogurt, fresh herbs, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Remove the sheet pan from the oven and serve hot with the yogurt sauce drizzled over the top.
