Chickpeas (or garbanzo beans) are a legume that don’t get the attention they deserve. Sure, you can go ahead and make hummus with them, but there are so many more exciting dishes that feature chickpeas as the star. Check out these four recipe ideas for your can of chickpeas.

Roasted Veggie Buddha Bowl

Roast spiced chickpeas and vegetables on the same baking sheet and you have a hearty lunch or dinner meal that’s super easy to put together. Top the bowl with avocado, edamame, and quinoa.

Chickpea Stew

This dish perfectly combines the spices found in Moroccan tagines into a vegetarian stew. Roasted kale and chickpeas add texture and they pair so nicely with caramelized onions and carrots.

Vegan Meringues

Don’t throw away the chickpea liquid in the can as it can be used to make vegan meringues. If you want some extra flavor, fold in some chocolate chips with your favorite extract.
