Ingredients:
For the chickpea scrambles:
* 1 cup cooked chickpeas (from 1/2 cup dry chickpeas; can be prepared overnight or using a pressure cooker)
* 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed (about 1 1/2 cups), cooked until tender and mashed
* 1 small red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
* 1 tablespoon coconut oil or olive oil
* 1 teaspoon ground cumin
* 1 teaspoon garam masala
* 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
* 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
* Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chickpeas, cooked sweet potatoes, diced red bell pepper, and all seasonings (cumin, garam masala, turmeric, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper). Mix well to incorporate everything.
2. Heat a large non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat. Add the coconut or olive oil to the hot pan, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Pour the chickpea mixture into the hot pan and spread it out into an even layer.
3. Cook the scramble without stirring for about 3-4 minutes, until the edges start to set. Use a spatula to gently loosen the sides and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the entire mixture is heated through and starting to brown in places, another 8-10 minutes.
4. Serve warm, sprinkled with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired, and your favorite dairy-free yogurt sauce or salsa. Enjoy as part of a balanced plant-based breakfast!
