Learn how to make the most delicious Vegan Creamy BBQ Chickpeas and Lentils using simple wholesome ingredients and a homemade bbq sauce!
We all love easy and quick vegan dinners, am I right? These vegan creamy bbq chickpeas and lentils fit the bill. You only need a few simple ingredients and about 15 minutes to make this plant-based dinner!
It’s no secret how much I love barbecue sauce, like these Skillet BBQ Baked Beans! I love this recipe because the texture from both the chickpeas and lentils is so good.
Bonus that the recipe is high in vegan protein, too.
HOW TO MAKE BBQ CHICKPEAS AND LENTILS
Add the bbq sauce ingredients to a large bowl, whisk well.
Add the chickpeas and lentils to a pan with the barbecue sauce over medium heat.
Once simmering, cover and cook about 5-10 minutes until it has thickened some. Don’t over cook it or you will cook all the sauciness away.
Serve over anything you like…rice, in a buddha bowl, etc.

Wow! We’ve been working in the yard all day and realized it was dinner time and we were hungry. Discovered this recipe with a Google search and it is one of the best dishes I’ve ever made! There’s only the 2 of us and there’s barely a serving left for lunch tomorrow. This is 10 stars! Delicious, fast, and pantry friendly. We served it with creamy polenta and sautéed kale, with a squeeze of lime! I can’t wait to explore more recipes on this site.
I knew this was going to be good, but I had no idea how good! It was absolutely amazing! The flavor was outstanding. Not too sweet, not too spicy, just right. I doubled the recipe to work for my family of 4, which is good because there’s barely enough left for one lunch serving tomorrow. Needless to say, we all loved it!
