Notes
- You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
- We created this recipe using only pantry staples. However, you could replace the onion flakes with 1/2 diced yellow onion, replace the onion powder with the other 1/2 yellow onion, replace the garlic powder with 2 large garlic cloves, and replace the ginger with 1/2 tbsp of freshly grated ginger.
- Feel free to add in vegetables (such as cauliflower or broccoli florets, sliced bell peppers, peas, kale, sliced carrots, etc.) when cooking the butter chickpeas.
