How to Make Gingery Marinated Chickpeas

  1. Rinse 2 (15-ounce) cans of chickpeas thoroughly and drain completely.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the chickpeas with the remaining ingredients: 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free), 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (for vegan option), and 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional).
  3. Mix well to ensure all chickpeas are coated in the marinade.
  4. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor development. Stir gently from the bottom every few hours.
  5. Serve over your favorite salad greens, mixed with hot cooked rice, or enjoy as a standalone snack. Makes approximately 5 cups.
