Vegan Sticky Sesame Chickpeas

Print Recipe

A delicious blend of sweet and savory flavors, these vegan sticky sesame chickpeas are easy to prepare and perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 3–4 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1.5 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • ⅓ cup tamari or soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
  • ¼ cup vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder or cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly under cold water.
  2. In a large pan, heat the avocado oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. While the garlic cooks, whisk together the arrowroot powder with 2 tablespoons of vegetable broth in a small bowl and set aside.
  4. Once the garlic is ready, add the toasted sesame oil, tamari, maple syrup, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and the remaining vegetable broth into the pan. Whisk to combine and let it simmer for about 1 minute.
  5. Re-whisk the arrowroot mixture to prevent clumping, then add it to the pan. Stir until combined and cook over medium/low heat until it starts to bubble and thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Gently fold in the drained chickpeas, ensuring they are well-coated with the sticky sauce. Allow the mixture to heat through, cooking for an additional 5 minutes.
  7. Turn off the heat and let the pan sit for 5 minutes.
  8. Serve the sticky sesame chickpeas over rice, quinoa, or steamed veggies.
