Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/2 cup carrots, sliced thinly or julienned
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water (slurry)
  • Optional garnish: Sesame seeds, chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the rinsed chickpeas to the skillet. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until they start to become slightly crisp. Remove chickpeas and set aside.
  3. Add the broccoli, bell pepper, and carrots to the same skillet. Stir fry for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Add the minced garlic to the vegetables and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Pour this mixture into the skillet.
  6. Bring the sauce to a simmer. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
  7. Return the cooked chickpeas to the skillet. Toss everything together to coat well with the honey garlic sauce.
  8. Remove from heat. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired. Serve immediately over rice or noodles.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a dash of sriracha to the sauce mixture for a little heat.
  • If you don’t have fresh ginger, use 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger.
  • Feel free to swap out vegetables based on what you have on hand, like snap peas or mushrooms.
