I originally shared this Honey Garlic Chickpeas & Vegetables as part of my 30 Minute Dinner Challenge and it was a big hit with everyone!  It’s one of those dinners that is super easy to make but tastes impressive!  It’s also great because you can use any vegetables you have on hand so it’s good for cleaning out the refrigerator.

This recipe is gluten free and can easily be made vegan by substituting the honey for maple syrup or any other vegan sticky sweetener alternatives.

INGREDIENTS FOR HONEY GARLIC CHICKPEA RECIPE

  • Chickpeas – Chickpeas are my go-to legume when making Asian inspired recipes.  They have a good texture that holds up well and a mild taste that doesn’t overpower anything else in the dish.  Tofu or tempeh would also be great but require a little more cooking time than chickpeas.
  • Vegetables – One thing I love about this recipe is that you can really use whatever veggies you have on hand.  It’s a great recipe if you need to clean out your vegetable drawers!  I went pretty simple and used broccoli, carrots and sugar snap peas.  You just want to make sure that whatever vegetables you use have a similar cooking time.
  • Honey Garlic Sauce – The sauce is where it’s at!!  It’s sweet and savory and full of honey and garlic.  The other ingredients include: water, soy sauce, sesame oil and cornstarch.  You can also add in a little chili paste or sriracha for some extra heat.

HOW TO SERVE YOUR HONEY GARLIC CHICKPEAS & VEGETABLES

You can really serve these anyway you like!  I like to serve this meal over jasmine or basmati rice, that’s what my kids love.  You could also do brown rice, quinoa, faro, rice noodles, pasta noodles or even just enjoy this stir fry by itself.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Can I use maple syrup instead of honey?  Absolutely! Just use the exact same amount.
  • Can I use a store-bought stir fry sauce instead?  Yes!  Just use your favorite kind and add however much you like.
  • Can I use this recipe for meal prep?  Totally!  Just portion it out into your meal prep containers and heat in the microwave or on the stovetop when ready to eat.
  • Can I use different kinds of vegetables?  For sure!  Use whatever vegetables you have on hand or whatever you like best.
  • Can I use tofu instead of chickpeas?  Yes!  Tofu would be great in this recipe.  I would suggest browning it a little bit first.
  • How long will leftovers last in the refrigerator?  About 4-5 days in an airtight container.

Description

Honey Garlic Chickpeas is a super quick and easy vegetarian dinner recipe that’s also so full of delicious flavor!


Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 cup diced snap peas
  • 1 cup diced carrot
  • 1 cup small broccoli florets
  • 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • Salt and pepper
  • Rice to serve over, or your favorite grain or cauliflower rice

Honey Garlic Sauce

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely grated
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Heat a large pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp olive oil, snap peas, carrots and broccoli.  Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until vegetables are beginning to soften, about 10 minutes.
  2. Make the honey garlic sauce while the vegetables are cooking.  Add all sauce ingredients to a small bowl or jar and mix until combined.
  3. Add the chickpeas to the vegetables and then pour the sauce mixture over.  Cook until sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.  Make sure to stir often because honey can burn easily.  Serve over rice, quinoa, cauliflower rice or your favorite grain.
