Rice Bowl - Chickpeas and Shawarma Spices

This vegan, gluten-free Shawarma Chickpea Nourish Rice Bowl is filled with warm spices and nourishing vegetables! It is sure to become your new favorite homemade Middle Eastern dishes.

How to make a Shawarma Chickpea Rice Bowl?

For this rice bowl recipe we started with our Crazy Good Shawarma Spice Mix and things just got better and better! Sautéed shiitake mushrooms and chickpeas give an unbeatable flavor that blends perfectly with the shawarma spices. We added veggies and a Spicy Tahini Sauce!

Vegetarian Shawarma

You don’t have to eat meat to get your favorite shawarma flavors! We used our classic Crazy Good Shawarma Spice Mix to bring the spice to chickpeas and mushrooms. Chickpeas are an excellent plant-based protein, while mushrooms have vitamins B and D.

Are Rice Bowls Healthy?

Yes! Rice is the base to this vegan bowl, and all of the toppings are plant-based. This is giving you a boost of energy and all of the important nutrients from the veggies! It’s a really nutritious meal that will fill you for hours.

Spicy Vegan Bowl

This is a gluten-free, vegan bowl that is flavored with all of our favorite spices! Of course, you can customize it in any way your family prefers, but this recipe as a base is very allergy friendly.

More Rice Bowl Options

You can really make this spiced bowl your own! Instead of shawarma spice mix, you could try it with our easy Homemade Garam Masala Spice Mix. This is a flavorful, warm spice that really awakens the flavors in the bowl! This would be exceptional served with Spicy Tahini and Schug.
