15+ Delicious Chickpea Recipes: Falafel, Curry, Hummus, Stew, Cookies & More

February 20, 2023February 20, 2023 Kelley Leave a comment

There are a handful of staples that we keep in our pantry year-round, and chickpeas are one of them. They’re inexpensive, nutritious, and just plain tasty. From stews and curries to hummus and cookies, we’ve found so many delicious chickpea recipes that we love and cook all the time. Here are our go-to’s…

Chickpea Recipes: Vegan Spanish Chickpea & Spinach Stew with Ginger

We love this Vegan Spanish Chickpea and Spinach Stew with Ginger so much that it’s in our weekly dinner rotation. One thing to note is that the recipe calls for 12 oz of spinach, which felt like a lot to me the first time I made this dish but don’t hold back on the spinach — you’ll want more of it if you skimp like I did.

Chickpea Recipes: 20-Minute Basil Chickpea Curry

We’re big curry fans over here. Combine that with chickpeas, and how quickly this recipe comes together, and you have yourself another weeknight staple with this 20-Minute Basil Chickpea Curry.

Here’s another curry recipe to try, this time with a tomato base: Creamy Chickpea and Spinach Curry.

Chickpea Recipes: Spicy Kale, Chickpea & Butternut Squash Salad

If you’re looking for something spicy, this Spicy Kale, Chickpea, and Butternut Squash Salad makes a delicious side salad any time of the year.

Chickpea Recipes: Vegan Chickpea "Tuna" Salad

This Vegan Chickpea “Tuna” Salad is such a satisfying lunch, and it also travels really well. So if you need something to take to the park, playground, or beach, this is your answer.

Chickpea Recipes: Creamy Chickpea Pasta with Spinach & Rosemary

This Creamy Chickpea Pasta With Spinach and Rosemary whips up in 30 minutes and is a hearty dish that’s always a crowd-pleaser.

Chickpea Recipes: Persian Herb & Chickpea Stew with Rice

I’m a big fan of Tieghan Gerard. I seriously love all her recipes, and this Persian Herb and Chickpea Stew with Rice is no exception.

Chickpea Recipes: Homemade Chickpea Falafel

When I used to commute into the city for work, one of my favorite lunches was a falafel wrap with tahini sauce. Even though I love falafel, it never crossed my mind to make them myself until the pandemic hit and I couldn’t get my favorite wrap. This Homemade Chickpea Falafel recipe makes 24 falafels, which is a good amount, especially if you’re going to make them from scratch.

Chickpea Recipes: Kale, Chickpea, and Chicken Soup

We’ve found chickpeas to be a tasty addition to brothy soups, and with the homemade rosemary croutons on this Kale, Chickpea, and Chicken Soup with Rosemary Croutons, you have the perfect comfort meal.

Chickpea Recipes: Roasted Chickpea & Veggie Bowl

Another meal we have at least twice a week in our home is Buddha Bowls. Do you ever make them? We like to make ours on a bed of kale or mixed greens, and sometimes we skip the greens and make a version of this Roasted Chickpea and Veggie Bowl. I also love this Buddha bowl with peanut sauce.

Chickpea Recipes: Mediterranean Chickpea Salad

If you like Greek salad, you’ll be into this Mediterranean Chickpea Salad. The combination of flavors is *chef’s kiss!* We also love quinoa in chickpeas salads, like this Mediterranean Quinoa Chickpea Salad.

Chickpea Recipes: Lemony Chickpea Soup

This Lemony Chickpea Soup is another Greek-inspired chickpea dish that’s made with orzo and packed with veggies. It’s great for lunch and dinner along with some crispy garlic bread, and just as delicious the next day for leftovers.

Chickpea Recipes: Cheesy Broccoli and Chickpea Fritters

These 25-minute Cheesy Broccoli and Chickpea Fritters are a twist on the popular chickpea fritters that we know and love (like these Mediterranean Chickpea Fritters).

Sun-Dried Tomato Chickpea Burgers

If you’re looking for a veggie burger with a flavor kick, try these Sun-Dried Tomato Chickpea Burgers.

Chickpea Hummus Recipe | Happily K

My love for this creamy hummus recipe is well-documented, and a few others to try are sweet potato hummus, beet hummus, avocado hummus, and hummus heaped with tomatoes and cucumbers.

Peanut Butter & Chickpea Cookies Recipe

Believe it or not, these Peanut Butter Cookies are made with chickpeas! I’d never seen a recipe for peanut butter and chickpea cookies until I came across this one, and it doesn’t disappoint.

Which chickpea recipes does your family love? Please share in the comments — I’m always looking for new ones to try!
