Hi all! Do any of you have any nice chickpea recipes? I have a ton of chickpeas at the moment and I would like to use them more often. I’ve had a few different chickpea meals with my vegetarian friends but I’m looking for recipes that are tasty and tested, A lot of the recipes online I search for seem overly complicated or kinda boring flavour wise. Thanks in advance! 😊

I coat cooked chickpeas in spices and a little oil then bake in the oven til dry and crunchy - I've been using them in salads but they're great as a snack on their own6

Maybe hummus bi tahini is too obvious? I use Claudia Roden's recipe.

Roasted chickpeas are great. Nothing like fresh hummus, but the local Lebanese bakery makes fantastic hummus. I like chickpeas in a broccoli pasta salad, but I have cut back on pasta and oil based salad dressing.1

Chickpea cookies
1 cup canned chickpeas, well-rinsed and patted dry with a paper towel
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup natural peanut butter or almond butter
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ cup chocolate chips (I used 1 serving of lily's no sugar chocolate chips)
- I added in 1 tbsp of vanilla protein and thought that gave it nice sweet flavor, but you don't have to. Or you could add in honey or (I like sugar free) maple syrup. Or agave.
Preheat your oven to 350°F / 175°C. Combine all the ingredients, except for the chocolate chips, in a food processor and process until very smooth. Make sure to scrape the sides and the top to get the little chunks of chickpeas and process again until they're combined.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
With wet hands, form into 1½" balls. Place onto a sprayed cookie sheet or a piece of parchment paper sprayed with coconut oil cooking spray.
Bake for about 10 minutes. The dough balls will still be very soft when you take them out of the oven.7 -

Found this "Chickpea of the Sea" mock tuna salad recipe on Pinterest a couple of years ago. LOL at the name, but I love it.

Chickpea Salad
Vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, refined sugar-free
Mashed chickpeas create a texture very similar to flaked chicken and the sauce gets a boost from a creamy eggless mayonnaise. I’ve also added a hefty amount of crunchy vegetables like celery, green onion, pickles, and bell peppers to give it a great crunch and loads of fibre. Serve this salad in pieces of Boston or Bibb lettuce, in a wrap or sandwich, or on crackers. If you have a picnic or road trip in store you’ll be happy to know that it packs well. Recipe is lightly adapted from The Oh She Glows Cookbook.
Yield
3 servings Prep time
15 Minutes Cook time
0 Minutes
Ingredients:
1 (15-ounce/425 grams) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup finely chopped dill pickle
1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
3 tablespoons store-bought or homemade vegan mayonnaise
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons yellow mustard
2 teaspoons minced fresh dill (optional)
1 1/2 to 3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, to taste
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, or to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
In a large bowl, mash the chickpeas with a potato masher until flaked in texture.
Stir in the celery, green onions, pickles, bell peppers, mayonnaise, and garlic until combined.
Now, stir in the mustard and dill, and season with the lemon juice, salt, and pepper, adjusting the quantities to taste.
Serve with toasted bread, on crackers, wraps, or on top of a basic leafy green salad. Or just enjoy it all on its own!

I make a salad with cooked chickpeas and cucumber. The original recipe calls for 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of vinegar, 1 tablespoon of orange juice, a pinch of ground black pepper, a pinch of garlic granules and a pinch of powdered ginger per person (100g of chickpeas). I usually reduce the amount of oil to lower the calories, plus the idea is to prepare in advance and soak in the oil etc mixture but you don't really eat all the oil. I've made it up to a day ahead and it's best nice and cold1
