    Vegan Breaded Lemon Chickpeas – Gluten Free, Asian Inspired

    Vegan Breaded Lemon Chickpeas

    Vegan Breaded Lemon Chickpeas are easy to make, tangy with just a hint of sweet and breaded with protein rich almond flour. They are my answer to Lemon Chicken – a former favorite dish at Chinese food restaurants.

    There were some top-notch Chinese restaurants nearby when I was growing up. They served all of the classic, North American Style Chinese dishes like Lemon Chicken and Ginger Beef. All of the sticky, sweet, tangy sauces are as addicting as they are delicious. And all items that are nowhere to be found on menus once you actually get to China. But here, they’re what we all know, love and order again and again.

    For these Vegan Breaded Lemon Chickpeas, I wanted to make them healthier. But still just as lemony and delicious as the original breaded chicken from my favorite Chinatown dinner spot. Almond flour kept them gluten-free, and fresh lemon zest added an even brighter flavor. And baking over frying is an everyday choice we opt for over and over again. Not only is it healthier, but it’s easier too.

    How to make them

    Only 3 ingredients needed to make these Breaded Lemon Chickpeas. One happens to be a batch of Asian Inspired Lemon Sauce that can be meal prepped ahead of time. Or make it on the fly since it’s incredibly easy and takes just lemons, sugar, and water to achieve.

    Once you have your lemon sauce, just toss it with chickpeas and almond flour. Bake the coated chickpeas in the oven for about 15 minutes, and you’ve got a perfect protein for rice bowls, noodle bowls, salads, wraps, or (my favorite) just to eat all on their own.
