Vegan Chickpea Rice and Veggie Stir Fry | Lemons and Basil

This Chickpea Rice Stir Fry with Veggies is super easy to make, ready in 30 minutes and better than take-out, both in flavor and nutrition! PLUS, it’s vegan, gluten-free, and soy-free!

You guys, the sickness this season is REAL. I feel like everyone I know has at least one person in their family, if not more, who has a virus, the flu, strep, an ear infection, bronchitis, pneumonia, and respiratory infection and the list just keeps going! It’s awful.

At the moment, our two young-ins have the flu. 😷😭It’s so hard to see your little ones not feel good. We’ve been doing all sorts of things to help speed their recovery along – a thousand essential oils, Zarbee’s cough and mucous syrup, bentonite clay on their feet, epsom salt baths, and of course, loads of Tylenol, Ibuprofen and REST. I’ve been working hard to make sure they’re getting lots of vitamins and minerals in their foods (fruits, vegetables, nuts, and soup) and drinking loads of fluid, while trying desperately to disinfect things as much as I possibly can.

Vegan Chickpea Rice and Veggie Stir Fry | Lemons and BasilMeals like this one, full of so many vegetables and rice made from chickpeas are what I’m living for right now. I need all the wholesome foods I can get in me and my family to help them heal and keep Josh and I well!

Chickpea Rice Stir Fry with Veggies

  • SUPER yummy
  • Chickpea rice is  🙌🏻🙌🏻
  • Vegan
  • Gluten-Free
  • Soy-Free
  • Quick and Easy
  • Full of vitamins and minerals
  • 20 grams protein, 12 grams fiber

Aside from the health benefits this dish has to offer, it has so much flavor! I love a good stir-fry – so many great flavors and textures complementing one another. So many options when it comes to the base, veggies, and protein. And SO much color, something about colorful food just makes me feel good!

Chickpea rice – have you tried it yet? I’m hooked, totally love it. The texture is so similar to actual rice, but (in my humble opinion) it’s so much more favorable! And super healthy with 12 grams protein and 5 grams fiber. It’s cooks in 5 minutes, way quicker than rice, barley, or farro, and is an easy swap in any recipe that calls for traditional rice. Let me repeat, I’m hooked!
