What’s In This Marinated Chickpea Recipe?

See the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!

  • Cooked Chickpeas: you can use canned (I’d recommend these no salt added chickpeas) or make your own garbanzo beans from scratch in the Instant Pot… no soaking required!
  • Veggies: I included cucumber, radishes, red onion, tomato, and green onion for flavor… but use whatever you have on hand!
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Apple Cider Vinegar
  • Granulated Sugar: I like this organic sugar for my recipes
  • Water, to cover
  • Herbes de Provence: my favorite spice blend! This French blend has a mix of rosemary, thyme, sage, and savory for a wonderful and complex flavor.

How To Marinate Chickpeas:

  1. In a mason jar, add the cucumber, radishes, red onion, tomato, apple cider vinegar, sugar, chickpeas, and green onion. Shake well to combine all ingredients together, add 1/4 cup water of needed to cover chickpeas and vegetables.
  2. Allow to marinate at least 10 minutes, but preferably overnight.
  3. Add chickpeas to salads, wraps, sandwiches, hummus, or avocado toast.
