15-minute spicy chickpea skillet – healthy vegan meal prep

If you’re looking for an simple vegan meal prep dinner recipe – this spicy chickpea skillet with green beans and vegetables is lazy and good! Even if you don’t meal prep this, you can whip it up in 15 minutes while watching Friends. Or something else. This healthy vegan dinner is gluten-free, high-fiber and good source of antioxidants.

We're not dealing well with this cold weather.

All we're craving right now are soups, curries, some sandwiches and recipes that will warm us up without forcing us to cook for an hour. Like this one.

So this is simple and makes a lot. You need one skillet, one big can of chickpeas, some tomato paste and all the leftover vegetables you’ve got in your fridge. Well, not all of them, but you can use some.

We used a very, old eggplant (that’s right we care about our seniors), some spinach that we wanted to put into our green smoothie, but well, it’s already been 4 days and you’re still there. So you’re a great candidate for the skillet. And, oh, wow, you’ve got a lot of protein and iron? We like your style, spinach, you’re in.

Then green beans. Because we love green beans lately and we have a bag in our freezer, so why not.

So you get all that out of your fridge, wash, chop and then open a jar or a can of chickpeas. Rinse and drain until those chickpeas are cleaner than a teardrop of a baby unicorn. And then start cooking. It’s simple – you basically dump all the ingredients into the skillet one after another and then cook for a few minutes.

Then comes the fun part. You can have the chickpeas like that, use in bowls or wraps. Whatever you decide, we think you’ll be happy.

We loved the wraps, because we're a wrapper and we would eat anything that is wrapped in bread. Sometimes, in extreme cases, when we're confused we would even eat things wrapped in lettuce. We think they’re called lettuce wraps.

The point is – use this recipe whichever way you’d like. We have two more recipes coming up that use this skillet – one is a bowl and the other one is a wrap. Both are good. And we're objective, because we made the recipes.

We hope you enjoy this tasty chickpea skillet! Let us know if you have any questions and if you make it – tell us how it went and what you did with it!
