These Peanut Butter Baked Chickpeas are VERSATILE! Let’s start with the unvarnished truth – We LOVE peanut butter in a kind of obsessive way. So if you’re like us and are crazy about peanut butter, I have a feeling you’re going to like what’s coming.
Peanut butter can be used easily in both sweet and savory dishes. From cookies to salad dressings, peanut butter can do it all. It’s a long-time comfort food (PB & J anyone?) and makes for a delicious dipping sauce (pass the Vietnamese Salad Rolls).
After preparing far too much of a delicious peanut dipping sauce, we used it up by tossing it with chickpeas and popping them in the oven to bake. And they turned out to be AH-mazing! And they’re SO easy! I love when getting a little creative with leftovers turns into one of our new favorite recipes.
They are perfect to eat on their own as a snack. And, they’re an absolute flavor bomb in your favorite vegan bowls. Rice, noodles, quinoa. They go with everything. Just add a few veggies to your favorite carby base and throw these chickpeas on top! Only 6 ingredients and 30 minutes stand between you and nutty, savory chickpea perfection.
How to make them
Combine all of the sauce ingredients in a large mixing bowl. That’s everything except for the chickpeas themselves. Whisk the sauce together until it’s smooth and creamy. Then, fold in your chickpeas until they’re all evenly coated in saucy goodness. Scrap them out onto a lined baking sheet and press them down into an even layer. Pop them in the oven for about 25 minutes or until they begin to brown. When they’re finished, eat them on their own, on your favorite bowl, or add them to a wrap!
