Directions

Prep 10 minCook 20 min
  1. 1

    In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, apple cider vinegar, rice wine vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, and water until dissolved. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant and just lightly golden, about 30–60 seconds.

  3. 3

    Add the red and green bell peppers and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Cover and steam for 1 minute to soften slightly.

  4. 4

    Stir in the broccoli and cook, covered, for 1 minute. Add the chickpeas, the prepared sauce, salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer for 8–10 minutes to meld flavors. Adjust seasoning to taste as needed.

  5. 5

    In a small cup, stir the cornstarch with room-temperature water until smooth. Pour into the skillet, stir well, and cook uncovered for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chickpeas and vegetables.

  6. 6

    Serve warm.
