Description

A comforting, quick, and nutritious chickpea scramble packed with plant-based protein and vibrant spices, perfect for any meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup cooked chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 large handfuls baby spinach
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt (kala namak for eggy flavor)

Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and chickpeas, mashing chickpeas with a fork as they warm.
  2. Sprinkle with spices and salt, then add baby spinach and stir through.
  3. Add a splash of water and cover the skillet with a lid so the spinach can wilt for a minute.
  4. Remove the lid and serve. Enjoy with sliced avocado, hot sauce, and toast.

Notes

For a creamier texture, mash a few more chickpeas while cooking. Add nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.
