Recipe: Sticky Chickpeas
Ingredients:
1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
1 tbsp maple syrup or agave
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp sesame oil (optional, for extra flavor)
1 tsp cornstarch (optional, for thicker sauce)
1 tbsp water (if using cornstarch)
Optional: sesame seeds, green onions, or chili flakes for garnish
Instructions:
Prep Chickpeas: Pat chickpeas dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Make Sauce: In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, maple syrup, and cornstarch with water (if using) until smooth.
Cook: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add Chickpeas: Toss in chickpeas and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until slightly crispy.
Coat with Sauce: Pour in the sauce mixture and stir to coat chickpeas evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes sticky. Add sesame oil for extra flavor, if desired.
Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle with sesame seeds, green onions, or chili flakes. Serve as a snack, over rice, or as a side dish.
