I spent a week in Austin, Texas, and consumed every BBQ meal the city had to offer. So today, I’m going the opposite route. Often, I get comments and DM’s about doing a vegan recipe. Well, I finally broke down and tried one — Vegan BBQ Chickpea Sandwich.

And I must say, it came out pretty good! Maybe it will inspire you to try a #MeatlessMonday (yes, I realize it’s Wednesday but for the sake of the hashtag, just go with it!).

This simple BBQ sandwich is completely vegan down to the bread and has a decent amount of protein, thanks to the chickpeas and organic black beans. And with some vegan mayo coleslaw, it packs the perfect punch for your tastebuds to approve.
