    Moroccan Chickpea Bowls are perfect for your healthy eating goals. Filled with plant based protein, clean ingredients, perfect for meatless Monday, and easily made vegan. But don't let the health factor fool you, these quinoa bowls are packed with flavor. A blend of spices to bring the Moroccan-inspired flavor. Make this easy 30-minute meal for dinner tonight or meal prep it for healthy lunches all week long.

    Moroccan Chickpea Bowls

    Chickpeas are my favorite ingredient when I want plant-based but still filling (and affordable). In addition to cooking them in a sauce like this recipe, I also love to crisp them up in the oven for these Crispy Chickpea Burrito Bowls.

    • Prep Time: 5 minutes
    • Cook Time: 25 minutes
    • Total Time: 30 minutes
    • Yield: 4 servings
    • Category: Main Dish, Meatless Monday
    • Method: Stove
    • Cuisine: American

    Ingredients

    Chickpeas

    • 1 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 small yellow onion (diced)
    • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
    • 1 tablespoon chili powder
    • 1 tablespoon cumin
    • 1 ½ teaspoons turmeric
    • 1 ½ teaspoons garam masala
    • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
    • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
    • â…› teaspoon cayenne pepper (more or less to taste)
    • 2 14oz cans chickpeas (drained)
    • 2 14oz cans fire roasted diced tomatoes

    Bowl Components

    • 1 cups quinoa (cooked according to package directions)
    • 2 cucumbers (diced)
    • 1 cup plain greek yogurt
    • chopped fresh parsley or cilantro

    Instructions

    1. While the quinoa is cooking, make the chickpeas. In a large deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until tender and translucent. Add the garlic, spices, salt, and chickpeas. Sauté about 30 seconds to a minute until fragrant.
    2. Add the diced tomatoes and stir to combine. Simmer for 15-20 minutes while you finish cooking the quinoa.
    3. Assemble the bowls with the cooked quinoa, tomato chickpeas, diced cucumbers, a dollop of yogurt, and a sprinkle of the fresh herbs. Enjoy!

    Notes

    Leftover chickpeas and quinoa can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

    If prepping in advance, I prefer to dice the cucumber on the day of to avoid them drying out. Add the yogurt, cucumber, and herbs after reheating the chickpeas and quinoa.
