Simple 7-Ingredient Recipe

Honey-Garlic Chickpea Sizzle Bowls

Prep + Cook Time: ~25 minutes

Ingredients (7 pantry staples):

1. 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2. 1 cup rice (white or brown)
3. 2 tbsp olive oil
4. 3 garlic cloves, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder if canned)
5. 2 tbsp honey
6. 2 tbsp soy sauce
7. 1/2 tsp chili flakes (adjust to your heat preference)

Instructions:

1. Cook the rice according to package directions. While it simmers, prepare the chickpeas.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Add the chickpeas, stirring to coat them in the garlic oil. Cook for 4–5 minutes until they begin to turn golden.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, and chili flakes. Pour the glaze over the chickpeas and continue stirring for another 3–4 minutes so the sauce thickens and clings to the beans.
5. Taste and add a pinch of salt if desired. Serve the glazed chickpeas over fluffy rice, spooning any leftover sauce from the pan on top.

Enjoy a sweet-savory bowl with a gentle kick!
