These Vegan Bang Bang Chickpeas are the ultimate meatless swap for the infamous Bang Bang Shrimp. It’s incredibly easy to make and absolutely flavorful.
I absolutely love Bang Bang Shrimp. It’s a little sweet and a little spicy and can be served over rice or in lettuce wraps. I explored a vegan option and let me tell you… it was AMAZING. I had my whole family over for dinner and my dad, being a meat eater, couldn’t get enough. He was actually shocked with how tasty these were. WINNER!
Coated in a tasty sauce then baked for perfection, and tossed again in the bang bang sauce, this dish is light and simple to make. I used romaine lettuce and filled them with not only the chickpeas but some diced avocados for some healthy fats. Low in carbs, gluten-free, and vegan. I also tested these out with extra-firm tofu the exact same way I did the chickpeas, and they were also fantastic. I made both and love them so much but the chickpeas carried way more flavor.
