Jump to Recipe

If you're already starting to feel the fall coming on, then you're going to want to make a batch of this chickpea and kale stew. It's made with super simple, clean ingredients, and it's a breeze to make. Perfect for meal prep as it tastes better a few days after it's made.

Chickpeas & Kale - the smart carbs

While I wouldn't call this recipe low carb, I would most definitely call it a smart carb option. It's made with whole foods that contain tons of fiber, and beans in particular are slow-digesting carbs.

In other words, unlike breads and pastas, this is the kind of carb you'll want to add to your diet. Perhaps not at every meal, but at least a few times a week. Plus, chickpeas are such a joy to eat. They have a great nutty flavor and the perfect texture.

Pro Tips

There aren't many to add to this recipe because it's already so easy to make, but one thing I like to suggest is tossing the kale in towards the very end of the cooking cycling so it stays slightly al dente. It just tastes better with a bit more crunch.
