If you’re anything like me (read: a vegetarian; a lover of great food; a sorta impatient person), chickpeas are in heavy rotation in your cooking– specifically now. Since this writing, a pound of the dried things and 7 cans of cooked chickpeas are hanging out in my pantry, just waiting to be used. (The dried ones are calling for a long Sunday simmer as I putter around your home.).
You need no telling how flexible, satisfying, and flat-out scrumptious chickpeas can be, so I won’t inform you. I’ll just show off 28 methods these little vegetables strut their things, in crunchy-roasted snacks, slurpable stews, and sugary foods (yes!) alike.
1. Smoky Fried Chickpeas.
You understand that saying “easy is finest”? This smoky snack epitomizes it. With chickpeas, olive oil, a hot cast-iron pan, and dusting of smoked paprika, you’re set.
2. South Indian Sundal (Chickpea Salad).
Chubby little chickpeas combine with coconut, black mustard seeds, and aromatic curry leaves for a tempting treat.
3. Chickpea And Buckwheat Crackers With Turmeric And Fennel.
For a weekend job that’s worth your while, unite nutty buckwheat flour and crumbly, blitzed chickpeas. You’ll be amply rewarded with seedy, crispy crackers.
4. Sweet Potato And Chickpea Cakes.
These sweet potato and chickpea fritters are simply pleading for a little dollop of yogurt on top. Consume them with a salad for a square meal, or by themselves as a nibble.
5. 5-Minute Hummus From Zahav Restaurant.
You didn’t believe we ‘d overlook hummus from this list, did you ?! A five-minute, zero-fuss recipe is simply what we all need today.
6. Curried Chickpea Sandwich.
Our SVP of brand, Suzanne, shared her tried-and-true lunch secret– this super-affordable, ultra-riffable, absolutely tasty curried chickpea salad– and we couldn’t be more grateful.
7. Buffalo Chickpea Salad With Vegan Cattle Ranch.
All the tastes (Frank’s!) of your preferred hot wing, became a durable, gratifying salad (total with cashew cattle ranch and watery-crisp celery).
8. Gena Hamshaw’s (Vegan) Deli Bowls With Smashed Chickpea Salad.
