    66 Creative Vegetarian Chickpea Recipes

    Published: Apr 21, 2015 · by Nicole · Updated: Aug 5, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    66 Creative Vegetarian Chickpea Recipes
    The humble chickpea (a.k.a. garbanzo bean) is so much more than a means to hummus. This little legume is packed with protein, minerals and antioxidants, and a 1-cup serving provides half the daily recommended intake of fiber. Their mild flavor and creamy texture makes them extremely versatile: cooked garbanzos can be roasted and served as a snack or salad topping, blended into dips and soups (and even baked goods), or used whole in sandwiches, tacos or main dishes.

    Here are 66 of the most creative—and delicious—vegan and vegetarian chickpea recipes that prove garbanzos are great in everything.

      Sixty-six?? Oh my, it's going to take me a year to get through these. And I can't wait! By the way, you have so inspired me on my journey of healthy eating — and getting me to dive into the world of vegan cooking — that I nominated you for the One Lovely Blog award (nomination post here: http://healthylittlechanges.com/2015/04/21/a-blog-award-plus-my-10-favorites/). Thanks for sharing such amazing, drool-worthy recipes!

      Chickpeas are one of my favorite ways to add protein to a vegetarian meal, and I love how versatile they are. I'm loving all of these recipes, especially the chana masala stuffed sweet potatoes - thanks for all the inspiration!

      Thank you so much for sharing these recipes! My two daughters have recently decided to be vegetarians, which makes me happy as I was one for many years. Unfortunately they've also decided now's a good time to be picky eaters! Thankfully my who family loves chickpeas. I am so excited to try these recipes- each and every one!

      Don't throw away your chickpea juice! It is a magical ingredient and a perfect sub for egg whites. http://www.cookwith5kids.com/2015/06/aquafaba-pure-magic/

      Thanks so much for sharing Dana. I'm definitely leaning towards the roasted veggie kabobs for dinner tomorrow.
