Description

Easy orange chickpea stir fry with veggies and fresh squeezed orange served over fluffy cauliflower rice. Perfect for meal prep dinners!

Ingredients

Orange Chickpea Stir-Fry

  • 1–2 tsp avocado oil (or sub 1/4 cup veggie broth if oil-free)
  • 1 15 oz. can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups snap peas or green beans
  • 2 bell peppers, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • Himalayan sea salt, to taste
  • pinch of red pepper flakes
  • 1 blood orange or regular orange, squeezed
  • 1–2 tsp maple syrup (optional for additional sweetness– I usually omit!)
  • 2 TSBP crushed cashews (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chives or green onion, thinly sliced

Cauliflower Rice

  • 1 small head of cauliflower, grated into “rice”
  • avocado oil spray
  • Himalayan sea salt
  • avocado, for serving

Instructions

  1. Add the cauliflower to a food processor or high-speed blender and pulse until you achieve “rice”.
  2. Heat a pan over medium and add a small drizzle of avocado oil, or use veggie broth if avoiding oil.
  3. Once it’s warm, add the cauliflower rice along with a shake of Himalayan sea salt and heat for 3-5 mins, stirring frequently, then reduce heat, cover, and cook for 5-7 more mins, stirring occasionally, until cauliflower is soft and slightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Add the avocado oil to a large skillet and heat over medium-high. Once it’s warm, add the bell pepper and snap peas or green beans and heat it 3-5 minutes, or until they start to soften. Add the chickpeas, garlic powder, and Himalayan sea salt and continue cooking for 5 more minutes, stirring frequently, or until the chickpeas are slightly browned and the veggies are vibrant red and green. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes, chives, optional maple syrup, and a large squeeze of orange and cook 1-2 minutes more to incorporate the flavors.
  5. Serve with cauliflower rice (or sub quinoa or regular rice) and optional sliced avocado.
  6. Store leftovers separately the the refrigerator for 2-3 days and reheat before serving.
