The Ultimate List of Vegan Chickpea Recipes

Ah, the almighty chickpea. A true powerhouse pantry staple. It may just be my favorite bean (but I’ll always have plenty of space in my heart for all beankind). Clearly I’m not alone. I feel like theres a new chickpea snack or chickpea based grain-alternative product hitting grocery store shelves every week.

There’s something about chickpeas that I just LOVE. They’re super versatile and work in all types of recipes. They’re the base for falafel, the go-to for vegan tuna salad and can even be added to sweets for a protein and fiber boost.

To pay homage to the garbanzo bean, I’ve rounded up 25 of my favorite vegan chickpea recipes. We’ve got chickpea fritters, chickpea tacos, and even chickpea cookie dough – this list has it all.

P.S. – when you go to make one of these vegan chickpea recipes, save the liquid from the can! The aquafaba (aka liquid gold) can be used for so many things like vegan meringue, a vegan egg substitute in baking, and mousse.
