Chickpeas (or garbanzo beans) don’t get the appreciation they deserve as they’re a super versatile legume that can be used in a variety of cuisines. Of course, they’re the star of hummus, but there’s so much more you can do with a can of chickpeas, and here are four ideas for recipes to make with them.
Roasted Veggie Buddha Bowl
The beauty of Buddha bowls is you can use whatever vegetables you have in your fridge in them. Just roast the chickpeas and vegetables on a baking sheet and assemble your bowl when they’re done cooking. Make sure you top it with edamame, avocado, and quinoa.
Chickpea Pizza Crust
Chickpea crust isn’t just great for people who are gluten-free—it happens to taste amazing! This crust can be made ahead of time and when you’re ready to make a pizza just bake it and add your favorite ingredients on top.
Chickpea Stew
Chickpea stew is loaded with flavor and it combines the spices found in Moroccan tagines. We suggest a stew with roasted kale, chickpeas, caramelized onions, and carrots.
Vegan Meringues
The liquid found in chickpeas is gold—it can be used to make delicious vegan meringues.
