How to Make the Best Smashed Chickpea Avocado Sandwich

This smashed chickpea avocado sandwich is the perfect solution for a quick, healthy, and satisfying lunch. Combining creamy avocado with protein-packed chickpeas creates a filling that’s both nutritious and incredibly delicious. The best part? It comes together in just 10 minutes with minimal effort.

The beauty of this vegan sandwich lies in its versatility. While the base of mashed avocado, chickpeas, and scallions is absolutely perfect on its own, you can customize it with your favorite toppings—crisp sprouts, peppery radish slices, crunchy carrots, or fresh herbs like cilantro and dill. Each bite offers a wonderful combination of creamy, crunchy, and zesty flavors.

Ingredients

Smashed Chickpea Filling

Sandwich Assembly

Instructions

Prepare the Filling

  1. Place avocado and olive oil in a bowl and mash with a fork until relatively smooth.
  2. Add chickpeas and continue mashing with the fork, leaving some texture.
  3. Stir in scallions, salt, pepper, cayenne, and lemon juice to taste. Add optional fresh herbs if desired.

Assemble the Sandwich

  1. Pile the smashed chickpea avocado mixture generously onto a piece of whole grain bread.
  2. Top with sprouts, radish, carrots, cucumber, or any other optional additions.
  3. Place the second slice of bread on top, cut in half, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use a perfectly ripe avocado for the creamiest texture.
  • This filling also works great as a dip with pita chips or veggie sticks.
  • For extra protein, add an extra quarter cup of chickpeas.
