Ingredients:

  • 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free option)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • Cooked brown rice or quinoa, for serving

Instructions:

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the sauce. Set aside.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and broccoli florets to the skillet, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.
  3. Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas to the skillet, and continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Pour the prepared sauce over the chickpea and vegetable mixture in the skillet. Stir to coat evenly, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and everything is heated through.
  5. Add the snap peas to the skillet, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until they are crisp-tender.
  6. Remove the skillet from the heat, and serve the vegan garlic chickpea stir fry hot over cooked brown rice or quinoa.
