This Vegan Chickpea Scramble offers a delicious and protein-packed alternative to traditional scrambled eggs, perfect for a quick and flavorful plant-based breakfast or brunch. Made with sautéed onions, garlic, and seasoned chickpeas mashed to a perfect texture, this dish combines wholesome ingredients like hummus and warm spices for a satisfying, nutritious meal ready in just 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Scramble Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2-3 tablespoons plain hummus
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste
  • 1/8-1/4 teaspoon black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Saute Onion: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 5-7 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  2. Mash Chickpeas: While onions cook, drain and rinse the chickpeas. Pulse them in a food processor just a few times until coarsely broken up. Alternatively, mash them by hand with a fork for a chunkier texture.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the mashed chickpeas, hummus, turmeric, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the skillet with the sautéed onions and garlic. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  4. Simmer: Allow the mixture to cook on low heat for a few minutes to blend the flavors thoroughly, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the scramble and adjust salt, pepper, or any other seasoning as desired to suit your preference.
  6. Serve: Serve the chickpea scramble warm with toast, fresh greens, avocado slices, or enjoy it on its own for a hearty, plant-based meal.

Notes

  • For a chunkier texture, mash chickpeas by hand instead of using a food processor.
  • You can customize the spice levels by adjusting turmeric, cumin, and black pepper quantities.
  • Serve with your favorite bread, tortillas, or alongside a fresh salad for a fuller meal.
  • Keep leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • For added flavor, sprinkle fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley before serving.
