These orange chickpeas and vegetables have a really delicious sauce that combines orange, maple syrup, Tamari, ginger and garlic for an easy weeknight meal!
If preparing rice, prepare per package instructions. Cut up vegetables. Make sauce by zesting and juicing one orange and combining remaining ingredients in a bowl.
Add vegetables, sauce and chickpeas to a large sauté pan on medium high heat. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cover.
Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes. Keep it covered or most of the sauce will evaporate. Check vegetables for tenderness and cook to your liking. I recommend al dente.
Serve with prepared rice and a side of greens. Optional: garnish with sesame seeds and green onions
