This BBQ chickpea pizza is perfect if you want a vegetarian pizza that’s a bit different, and absolutely full of smoky BBQ flavour.

I’m of the opinion that pretty much anything is better when served on pizza. If you love chickpeas slathered in BBQ sauce, adding pizza to the equation can only possibly be a good thing – so here’s a BBQ chickpea pizza!

I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen chickpeas on a pizza before. I’d certainly never eaten chickpea pizza until I made this one. But thank goodness I decided to give it a try, because it’s excellent.

Since my baked bean pizza worked so well the other week, I thought I’d try chickpeas on pizza too – beans and chickpeas are both pulses, so they should both work equally well, right?

And they do! This BBQ chickpea pizza is so, so good.

Why put chickpeas on a pizza?

They’re the perfect little carrier for all that BBQ sauce
They bring another texture to your pizza
They make your pizza extra filling and hearty
They’re good for you, so you can eat an extra slice guilt-free

The chickpeas add that perfect little je ne sais quoi.

  Hi, are you trying to print from FoodTalk or directly from Easy Cheesy Vegetarian (where this recipe is from)? I run ECV and printing seems to be working fine from there :)
