This Citrus and Herb Chickpea Dinner is the perfect vegan recipe when you want something healthy, satisfying, and still easy to make. Colorful baby potatoes, tender broccoli florets, and crispy chickpeas are tossed in a citrus herb marinade to elevate every bite.

Without question, this vegan chickpea sheet pan dinner is definitely designed to make healthy eating quick and easy but still full of delicious goodness.

And while there are thousands of vegan chickpea dinner recipes on the web, none compare to this sheet pan. It was inspired by the traditional “citrus and herb chicken, turkey, or even duck” dish, but obviously with a plant-based twist. Instead of using a bird, we’ll be replacing some chickpeas for a boost of protein, fiber, and crunch. Alongside the chickpeas, a colorful mix of baby potatoes, broccoli florets, and fresh lemon slices gets roasted in a citrus herb marinade.

Feel free to switch it up by including your favorite produce, serve it over a bed of fresh greens, or save it for leftovers. Regardless, this Citrus and Herb Chickpea Dinner is seamless to prepare, swift to clean up, and sure to hit the spot every time!

3. Serve. Divide between bowls and enjoy!
