If you have a can of chickpeas in your pantry and aren't sure what to make with it, this recipe round-up of recipes using a can of chickpeas will give you some great recipe ideas!
There are so many great ways to use a can of chickpeas. Canned chickpeas are one of my favorite pantry staples to have on hand. Not only are chickpeas delicious, they add a ton of plant-based protein to recipes.
Make sure to save the aquafaba before draining your chickpeas! If you aren't familiar with aquafaba, it's just another name of the chickpea cooking liquid.
Aquafaba is a game changer for vegan recipes. I've included some delicious vegan recipes using aquafaba at the end of the post. If you've never cooked with it before, I hope that you give one of the recipes a try!
