save this recipe!You know when 11 o’clock rolls around, and you’re starving but have no desire to turn the kitchen upside down to make a meal? Well, that’s where toast comes in.
But toast on its own isn’t the most filling option, so I started adding seasoned chickpeas, whipped yogurt spread, and sauerkraut (because it’s good for me and I love it).
Make It A Dip
Besides being a delicious toast, you can also serve it as a dip for a starter or appetizer. Just pile everything on a plate, except the toast. Then serve with the toast as a dipper instead of putting everything on top of the bread.

toast variations
I equate these chickpeas to seasoned fries, so pretty much any flavors that go with fries are delicious on this toast.
- Kimchi Toast: Make your own homemade kimchi to use in place of the sauerkraut for an Asian spin. Or just use all the toppings for these loaded kimchi fries but on toast and chickpeas.
- Mexican-Inspired Toast: Try this toast with avocado whipped into the goat cheese spread. Top with a drizzle of chipotle sauce or hot sauce and a squeeze of lime.
- Buffalo Chickpea Toast: Toss the roasted chickpeas in buffalo sauce for the perfect contrast of creamy and spicy.
Go-To Kraut

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until crispy.While still hot, sprinkle chickpeas with 1 tsp smoked paprika and ¼ tsp each salt and pepper, stirring to coat.
- Whipped Goat Cheese: While chickpeas cook, add 1 10-oz package soft goat cheese, ½ cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, and 2 to 3 cloves garlic to a food processor. Blend for about a minute, until creamy.This will make more whipped goat cheese than you may need to serve, but it makes a great dip or spread! Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 1 week.
