Vegan BBQ Chickpea Pizzas

There are literally some nights I’m just so tired the thought of cooking exhausts me even more. Sometimes I just want things made so fast and easy that it’s almost like I didn’t even really do it. Yea sure I mean, there’s takeout, but there really isn’t anything better than a home cooked meal.

The other night we got home from running errands later than usual and we still needed to eat dinner. This was one of those nights where I was just done and wanted the kids to go to sleep so I can lay and just stare at my ceiling. But we were all so freakin’ hungry. You could hear our stomachs rumbling. So I knew I had to get dinner going ASAP. Vegan BBQ Chickpea Pizzas is 100% the easiest and fastest thing you can ever put together in your life.

On my Instagram Stories that same night I was showing you guys what I made for dinner, which was this, and how easy and quick it was to put together. Literally I think you just put in the bare minimum and let the oven do all the work. You don’t even have to precook the chickpeas! I know right!? Awesome-Sauce! (are people still saying that?)

The only thing I added to this recipe is diced pineapples, cilantro, and instead of a yellow onion I used red. But you can stick with the yellow onion and don’t have to add the pineapple or cilantro. They do add a nice touch and in each bite quoted by my husband himself he said “You can taste every single flavor and it’s so delicious”. Husband mic drop and boom.

I made about 6-8 of these Vegan BBQ Chickpea Pizzas using small flour tortillas. I think they’re about 6″ in size, so no dough prep required. Like come on, how flippin’ easy is that!

You know what’s even more awesome-r? If you don’t want, you don’t even have to put it in the oven! I do because I want my vegan cheese nice and melty but you can totes just eat it as is. If you’re feeling extra lazy like that, go for it. No judgments.

Another little tasty thing I like to add to this is vegan ranch dressing. Not a lot, just about 1/2 tbsp on each pizza. Along with the BBQ sauce it really gives this it’s umph. If you don’t have a vegan ranch on hand you can do a vegan caesar, either or would work.

The pineapple is yum-maze because it adds juicy sweetness. It reminds me of a Hawaiian Pizza. Warm pineapple is so yum on all levels, it’s one of my faves. Ever grill pineapple in the summer? If you haven’t, get on that immediately. Like, just stop right now and go grill one up then come back here so you can understand fully what I’m talking about. Ok not seriously this moment but you get the urgency I’m throwing out because trust me when I say, it’s effin’ fantastic.

And that’s really all there is to it. They look super complicated but you know the saying – never judge a book by it’s cover peeps!

These Vegan BBQ Chickpea Pizzas are loaded with plant based protein, are high in fiber, vitamin C, and are mouth watering delicious on top of being a healthy, super easy, throw together dinner.

This is just one of the many ways we can enjoy some vegan pizza. Do you love the combinations in this? What’s your go to, must have toppings on your pizza?
