Here’s What You’ll Need (Spoiler: Not Much)
‘Kay, I was being so serious when I said this easy chickpea recipe uses just a few ingredients, and chances are, you’ve already got most of them in your kitchen.
Canned Chickpeas: One thing about me? You’ll probably never catch me cooking chickpeas from dry. They take SO much longer, and canned are just as nutritious and WAY more convenient.
Veggies: I used frozen green beans, bell peppers and red onion, but I’ve also tested this recipe using mushrooms and broccoli and they’re great substitutions!
5-Minute Teriyaki Inspired Stir Fry Sauce: If you’re intimidated by homemade stir-fry sauce, don’t be. This one’s quick, easy, and totally foolproof!
