Here are five quick and healthy chickpea recipes that are perfect for a satisfying meal or snack:
1. Quick & Healthy Moroccan Chickpea Stew
This hearty stew comes together in about 30 minutes and is full of warm spices. It’s a great meatless meal that’s perfect for weeknights.
Ingredients: Canned chickpeas, diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, tomato paste, olive oil, and spices like cumin, turmeric, smoked paprika, and garam masala.
Instructions: Sauté the onion, then add the chickpeas, garlic, and spices. Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and a little water, then simmer for about 20-25 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Serve over rice or quinoa with fresh cilantro.
2. Mediterranean Chickpea Salad
This no-cook salad is fresh, vibrant, and ready in minutes. It’s an excellent option for a light lunch or a side dish.
Ingredients: Canned chickpeas, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, red onion, Kalamata olives, and fresh herbs like parsley, dill, or mint.
Dressing: A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Instructions: Simply combine all the salad ingredients in a bowl. Whisk the dressing ingredients together and pour over the salad. Toss to combine and serve. For a creamier texture, you can also add crumbled feta cheese or diced avocado.
3. Crispy Roasted Chickpeas
Roasted chickpeas are a crunchy, protein-packed snack that can be seasoned in countless ways. They are a healthier alternative to potato chips.
Ingredients: Canned chickpeas, olive oil, and seasonings of your choice.
Instructions: Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly, then pat them completely dry. This is a crucial step for getting them crispy. Toss them with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Roast in a preheated oven at 400-425°F (200-220°C) for 20-35 minutes, shaking the pan every 10 minutes, until they are golden brown and crunchy. Once out of the oven, you can toss them with spices like paprika, cumin, garlic powder, or chili powder.
4. Chickpea “Tuna” Salad
This recipe uses mashed chickpeas as a plant-based alternative to tuna, creating a satisfying and creamy sandwich filling or spread.
Ingredients: Canned chickpeas, mayonnaise or Greek-style yogurt, finely chopped celery, red onion, and fresh herbs.
Instructions: Mash the chickpeas with a fork until they have a chunky texture. Mix in the other ingredients and season to taste with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve on whole-grain bread, in a wrap, or over a bed of greens.
5. Easy Chickpea Curry
This creamy and flavorful curry is a fantastic one-pot meal that comes together quickly.
Ingredients: Canned chickpeas, a can of diced tomatoes, coconut milk, onion, garlic, fresh ginger, and spices like curry powder, garam masala, and turmeric. You can also add vegetables like spinach, sweet potatoes, or cauliflower.
Instructions: Sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger until fragrant. Stir in the spices and cook for another minute. Add the diced tomatoes, coconut milk, and chickpeas, then simmer for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. If using spinach, stir it in at the end until it wilts. Serve with rice or naan bread.
