Turn One Can of Chickpeas Into Two Chef-Level Recipes. I’m making two unforgettable chickpea recipes I love and make all the time. Super simple and crave worthy! I’m turning one oversized can of chickpeas into two bold, make-ahead recipes you’ll want on repeat. Much less expensive that store bought and SO much better. In this video I show you how I prep them beforehand so you can see the full process, the unexpected flavors, and my go-to tricks for quick, crave-worthy plant-based and vegan cooking.

9:51 most vegan stereotype moment I’ve ever seen😂. I’ll try the dressing someday for sure.
Peeling garbanzo beans? That's something I've never heard before. Maybe you ment to say, garlic? Anyway, love and peace from Oregon 🇺🇲♥️☮️
I made both of these recipes and they are so yummy! Thank you so much for all of your videos and sharing your talents and joy with us! Safe and happy travels to you and Ms Frankie! I miss seeing Gary and hope that you will have a chance to see him too in his new home.
I made this! Both the hummus and the salad dressing. I have made a LOT of hummus in my day and I can tell you this has jumped to number one. I didn't have plant-based fish sauce so used a little Chinese black vinegar instead. Thank you Derek! I think the lemon peel sealed the deal there.
As for the salad dressing, it was delicious but didn't stick to the lettuce the way I wanted it to. Possibly I used too much aquafaba or not enough oil. But I have a plan for the leftover dressing – I'll put together a hot German style potato salad with this as the sauce. I'm hoping it might work well there.
Happy travels 🙂
I’m not vegan, but I do have all the ingredients needed for your recipes in the house. I’ll definitely be following your lead today. Yummmm!
I have everything except the dog that is. lol

Yummy! Love the videos and your Wicked Healthy Cookbook! I'm going to make the recipes as you show them. I'll swap out the "fish" sauce with Red Miso. Thanks for including the recipes😋
Hey, was für ein cooler Typ! Der Humus scheint mir sehr delkat, ich werde es probieren. Bei euch in den USA sind sogar die Kichererbsen doppelt so groß wie bei uns in Europa 😂 Da benötige ich wohl 2 Dosen…
Grüße aus Deutschland ❤
Yep done fish sauce in hummus b4. Luuuurve it. Dressing looks amazing. 👏👏
You'll laugh, but I put Tajín in my hummus. It's that chili lime mix for margarita rims. There is always tons in the container so it makes a great add to lots of recipes!
Thanks for the recipes! Have fun on the road! Safe travels!
the "ta da" hands, in the background, while the containers were spinning, made me laugh ,

Where’s Gary?
I consider you exceptionally sane, never crazy!
hi Derek, can you make something entirely with the air fryer. for us those who don't like to cook 🙂
Sprouts have chickpeas in a package and Whole Foods have them in a box. I stopped buying cans about 10 years ago because a doctor said the metal gets into the foods. Stock up on these for when you are in a hurry. I miss Gary. I am glad he has a new family who loves him. I hope he is doing well. Kisses for Frankie. Melissa Plessinger
Wonderful I can't wait to try your versions. " Bon appetit" 😊
Who is Francisco?❤ Also ❤ Frankie so much!
3:20 the difference isn't smoothness, it is taste.(Bitterness) Much like the pith or seeds in citrus or peppers.
This is so good – I am drooling! Next level hummus making is on the agenda this weekend. Yum!
So I told her “I’ve never had a garbanzo bean on my face.” 😉👉
I hope you’re having a good start to your trip!! 🤠 I’m new here, and I’m really enjoying your videos!
That's like a lifetime supply of dressing
OMG WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR ARMS….sorry to see the mess….you could spend alot of money and lots of pain and have removed. I can not relate to you an old man….with ugly tattoos, a mess you call arms. Nor take advice from some adult that would actually do that…..and dress like a teenager, but your long hair is grey old man. GUESS SOME PEOPLE NEVER MATURE.
I like you. You don't even bother to sit down, do you? Just dig right in. I'm subscribing.
I have missed you and Frankie.. since the last time you were moving…this recipe looks delicious im going to make for my son 😂❤❤❤
