Chickpea Recipes

Falafel made with canned chickpeas - just like the ones you taste in a Greek restaurant. Makes about 12 patties. Serve with hummus or tzatziki sauce.

Yummy vegan curry dish. Serve with basmati rice and naan bread.

An easy, yummy way to make falafel. Serve with pita bread and your favorite tzatziki.

A spicy bean salad that can also be used as a topping for tostadas.

A refreshing and different spin on a carrot salad given to me by a neighbor many years ago.

Great for a quick snack or take them with you to eat along the way.

This is a tasty, crunchy snack and you can customize your seasoning based on your preferences. Dry-roasting is the key. Enjoy!

This is a great recipe for falafel. Everyone that I have made it for loves it. Yum!

This is a simple crowd pleasing recipe that can sit in a slow cooker until it is time to serve.

These fresh and flavorful salads have one delicious ingredient in common: chickpeas!

This delicious slow cooker meal of chicken and vegetables pairs up nicely with couscous and pita bread.

I got this recipe from a friend who is from Bethlehem. The flavors are just delicious. The possibilities of add-ins are endless.

This recipe was given to me by a vegan friend I had in college. It is the best bean salad I have ever tasted, and I love it because you can experiment with the ingredients and still have a mouth-watering side dish. I hope you like it!

Easy to make and delicious. Vegetable broth, barley, and lots of veggies make this soup hearty and filling. I use and recommend organic products. Please add a review if you make it. Enjoy!

Chopped zucchini, chickpeas, tomatoes, and fresh basil in a light balsamic dressing. Or you can use red wine vinegar! Makes a great side dish or light lunch. Not necessary, but best if chilled at least a couple hours to let flavors blend.

This is the type of dish I never make the same way twice, but I hope you give this amazing minestrone recipe a try soon, but only once.

I serve this at least once a week with a chicken or steak meal or just as a quick snack. Learned from my late grandfather who was of Lebanese descent. Serve with fresh Arabic bread.

Makes 10-15 servings. This recipe can be adjusted according to your taste preferences, so you can leave out undesirable ingredients or add others that appeal to you (like mushrooms). I add ingredients just to bulk up the heartiness and color palate of the chili, but feel free to just use a few green peppers or same-colored zucchinis as you desire. By the end, you just want everything to be hearty, moist, and flavored -- mess around with it as you go! I would say to serve it with shredded cheese and corn chips, but then it's no longer 'vegan.' : )

Unlike most of America's other favorite fast foods, falafel is rarely attempted at home, which is a shame, since it's very simple to do, and even a relative novice like me can get some very decent results. One word of warning: you do need to know you're going to have a craving for this a full day before you actually want to eat it.

A good chickpea salad, that is low-fat and high in protein.

My step mom gave me this tasty recipe when I was lamenting over what to bring to a barbecue. I've taken this dish to several parties and there's NEVER been any left over!

A fresh and crisp meal in one. Brown rice, vegetables, tofu and chickpeas are topped with a spicy Thai basil dressing and toasted sesame seeds.

Tahini-free hummus that only takes minutes, and is a favorite with my kids.

I love to use this as a dip for pita bread.
