1 carrot (peeled and cut into spears)
For the Dip: 1 cup Greek yogurt
1 Tbsp. curry powder

1 Tbsp. kosher salt
2 Tbsp. sherry vinegar

Cook until golden brown, remove from heat and place into a blender with the toasted spices and remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth and store up to 2 weeks.
Make the Wings: Preheat oven to 350°.
Toss wings with 1/2 cup harissa paste and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a wing reads 165, approximately 20 minutes.
