Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 15 ounce can chickpeas, drained + patted dry
- ½ onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, finely diced
- ½ green bell pepper, diced
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard (prepared)
- ½ cup organic ketchup
- 4 ounces tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar, to taste
- ¼ teaspoon salt, to taste
- 4 sandwich buns to serve (sub gluten-free bread if necessary)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450ºF.
- Line a baking sheet with foil and brush with 1 TB oil. Spread chickpeas on baking sheet and roast 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in medium to large saucepan. When oil begins to ripple, add onion and cook 2-3 minutes until it starts to soften. Add garlic and green pepper, and sauté 2-3 more minutes.
- Add mustard, ketchup, and tomato sauce. Sauté until heated through, then add sugar, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Remove chickpeas from oven, and mash about half of them with a fork. Add to the sauce and stir to incorporate.
- Toast sandwich buns. Serve mixture hot on toasted buns.
Notes
Recipe Adaption- No Ketchup: Substitute 1 15oz can of fire-roasted tomatoes for the ketchup. (Your sandwich will taste less like a traditional Sloppy Joe.)
