These chickpea sandwiches are bursting with flavors! You’ll also love the crispy chickpea patties and strong basil aroma. They’re perfect for a quick lunch at school or work!

I am so happy to see that more and more gluten-free products appear each day in the stores here in Romania, too. Up until a couple of years ago, things weren’t this good! It’s really a blessing for those who are gluten intolerant or have gluten sensitivity and it’s definitely NOT just a trend as most people say.

I had the opportunity to test these new products myself and I loved them. I made these awesome vegan fajitas last week with Schar’s gluten-free wraps and today I decided to test their Ciabattine bread, which is perfect for making sandwiches.

Even though I have a gluten-free diet, I avoid processed foods as much as possible. So you won’t see me eating bread, sweets or snacks too often. But, I must admit, I do crave a hot, steamy, gluten-free sandwich or bread every once in a while! And these vegan lunch recipes are so delicious!

So, I decided to turn these gluten-free Ciabatta bread rolls into chickpea sandwiches. I made some really crispy and flavorful chickpea patties to go with these.

Of course, if gluten isn’t your enemy, you can use any other kind of bread you want! No problem! These chickpea sandwiches will turn out to be just as good.

Because my basil plant wasn’t feeling very well, I turned it into pesto! So mean of me… I know. 😀 It will grow back, though, so don’t worry! I followed this vegan pesto recipe, but used cashews and also added some nutritional yeast. It was delicious! I spread it all over these Ciabatta bread rolls.

Hope you’ll like this chickpea sandwich recipe! They’re perfect for a work/school lunch, or just as a quick snack. You can also add some lettuce, spinach, or any other greens on these sandwiches or on the side for a fresh taste and extra nutrition.

Tip: Make the patties in larger batches. You can freeze them! 🙂
