Brown Rice With Chickpeas

5 from 1 vote
This is a deliciously healthy, gluten free, and vegan rice dish that is super customizable to what you have in your pantry and fridge. My brown rice with chickpeas is exactly what it sounds like: fluffy brown rice packed with roasted chickpeas and fresh scallions. However, you could add other vegetables like carrots and bell peppers to pack in more nutrients!
