Ingredients

For the chickpea scramble:

  • 15 ounces canned or cooked chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon sea or kala namak salt
  • 6 tablespoon hummus

For serving (optional):

  • Sautéed mushrooms
  • Bread gluten-free if needed
  • Avocado
  • Cherry tomatoes

Instructions

  • Add the chickpeas and the lemon juice to a mixing bowl and mash them with a fork.
  • Add the spices and the hummus and mash again until well combined.
  • Cook the chickpea scramble in a frying pan over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. We didn't add oil or any liquid.
  • Serve with your favorite ingredients. We served our scramble with some sautéed mushrooms (we cooked them in a frying pan until golden brown with no oil), bread, avocado and cherry tomatoes.
  • Keep the chickpea scramble in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • We prefer to use kala namak salt because it makes this recipe tastes like a real egg scramble, but any type of salt is okay.
  • Add your favorite spices or herbs to the scramble and serve with your favorite ingredients.
  • Hummus makes the scramble more fluffy and less dry, but feel free to use other dips like baba ghanoush or even tahini (we would add less tahini and some water instead).
  • Recipe inspired by Minimalist Baker.
