How to Make Sweet Curry Chickpea Casserole

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine chickpeas, coconut milk, onion, garlic, ginger, curry powder, maple syrup, soy sauce, vegetable broth, tomato paste, salt, and pepper.
Stir in spinach (if using).
Pour mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish or a similar sized oven-safe dish.
Cover the dish with a lid or aluminum foil.
Bake, covered, for 60-70 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly, stirring halfway through.
**For Slow Cooker:** Combine all ingredients in a slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
**For Bisque:** After baking or slow cooking, add 2 cups of water to the casserole. Using an immersion blender, puree about ¾ of the mixture until smooth. Stir in the remaining chunks for texture. Adjust salt and spices to taste.
Serve the casserole or bisque over cooked jasmine rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro (optional).
