Tasty and Easy Vegan + Gluten-Free Chickpea Curry

I am loving sharing my vegan and gluten-free recipes with you guys and can’t believe I haven’t shared my gluten-free chickpea curry with you yet. I love to make a big batch of it and eat it for lunch throughout the week.

My easy gluten-free chickpea curry recipe is probably one of the easiest vegan recipes I have to share with you guys. Looking over the ingredients might have you questioning that, but I can assure you. This is a super easy meal to add to your recipe book.

What I love most about chickpea curry is its versatility. I can make a batch and eat it throughout the week for lunch with some naan, or whip it up quickly in the evening and serve it over some rice. It’s also the type of comforting, warm meal to cozy up with during the fall months.

Chickpeas are something I turn to often as a gluten-free vegan. They are seriously so versatile and provide some great nutritional benefits. According to healthline.com, “Chickpeas also provide a variety of vitamins and minerals, as well as a decent amount of fiber and protein.”

I use chickpeas in an assortment of meals like chickpea “tuna style” salad, chickpea protein bowl, and even edible chickpea cookie dough. A great assortment of my own recipe book recipes are meals including chickpeas and I could probably share with you one hundred ways to use them.

One of the best things about this gluten-free chickpea curry recipe? My boys LOVE it! Chickpea curry + their favorite naan is a regular weekly lunch in our home.
