Spicy roasted chickpeas, creamy avocado, and tangy garlic yogurt sauce make these flavorful nutrition powerhouse stuffed avocados!

Roasted Chickpea Stuffed Avocados

I was going to serve these chickpea stuffed avocados to you yesterday, but then Kingsday happened. Because yes, the Netherlands does apparently have a king and queen. And yes, the Dutch do celebrate his birthday with large quantities of music, street food, and alcohol. So while I intended to return home yesterday afternoon and get this recipe out to you, we instead made our way into bed in the wee hours of the night.

So here I am in my pjs, snacking on these spicy roasted chickpea stuffed avocados and hoping they’ll extinguish the smidgen of hangover that a coffee smoothie didn’t cure.

But you can also eat these stuffed avocados like…when you’re not hungover too. Inspired by our oh so popular Roasted Chickpea Gyros, these involve a fatally tasty combination of spicy, creamy, herby, and tangy.

Eat ’em as a side, eat ’em as a main, serve ’em at a party, eat ’em in the morning when you’re tired and crusty from the party, the possibilities are really endless here, guys. And any food that acts as it’s own bowl is a winner in my book.

Spicy roasted chickpeas, creamy avocado, and tangy garlic yogurt sauce make this flavor powerhouse stuffed avocado recipe!

Ingredients

Fillings

  • 1 15-oz can chickpeas 425 g, drained and rinsed
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil 15 mL
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper
  • ¼ tsp salt + a few pinches more for later
  • 3 ripe avocados
  • ½ tomato chopped
  • 1 lime or lemon

Sauce

  • 1 cup plain yogurt* 240 g, or dairy-free alternative
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ¼ cup chopped parsley
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Pour chickpeas onto a few layers of paper towels and pat dry, removing any skins that are loose or fall off.
  • In a bowl gently mix chickpeas, oil, paprika, black pepper, cayenne, and salt.
  • Spread chickpeas onto a greased or parchment paper lined rimmed baking sheet. Roast at 400 degrees F (200 C) for 20 minutes, until lightly browned but not hard.
  • Meanwhile, combine all Sauce ingredients.
  • When chickpeas have finished, cut each avocado in half and remove the seed, leaving the edible portion in the skin. Drizzle each with a squeeze of lime juice and rub the juice so it coats the whole exposed surface**, and sprinkle each with a pinch of salt.
  • Place a few pieces of tomato into each avocado then spoon in some chickpeas. Top with a dollop of sauce, sprinkle on a few more chickpeas for good measure, and serve!

Tips & Tricks

  • *Add a touch of milk if you’re using Greek yogurt to thin the sauce out a bit.
  • **This helps to keep the avocado from browning!
  • To store leftovers, I like to scoop the chickpeas into a separate container and dab the avocados clean. Place two avocado halves together and wrap in plastics. Leftovers are good for about 1 to 2 days.

    Do you reheat the chick peas for leftovers for these and/or the gyros? If so, how do you recommend reheating them?

      Hi Blair! I reheat the chickpeas either in the microwave or in a skillet on the stove 🙂
