EASY VEGAN MEATBALLS USING CHICKPEAS

Homemade vegan meatballs made with chickpeas are insanely flavorful – even meat-eaters will love them! This is an updated recipe from 2015 – it’s by far one of my most popular meatless recipes here on Karissa’s Vegan Kitchen. Because they are seriously delicious. If you’re on an oil-free diet, these easy meatballs will be a great addition to your meal plan.

It is no surprise to people that know me, or regularly follow my blog – but I LOVE chickpeas. Chickpea recipes are totally my jam.

I’ve shared with you my tasty Turmeric Chickpea Salad Sandwich recipe and Healthy Vegan Gyro Salad with Chickpeas. Adding chickpeas to salads adds such a delicious element and texture. I’m sure it’s pretty obvious that I have these little round balls of goodness on hand at all times.
