Vegan Stuffed Avocados

Vegan stuffed avocados make a delicious and nutritious meal. They are full of healthy fats from the avocado and plant-based proteins from the filling. The creamy avocado serves as a perfect vessel for the flavorful and colorful filling. This recipe is easy to make and can be customized to suit your taste.

Ingredients

2 avocados
1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup diced red onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Dash of black pepper
1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes
2 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise

Preparation

First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut the avocados in half and carefully remove the pit. Use a spoon to scoop out a bit of the avocado flesh to make room for the filling. Arrange the avocados on a baking sheet.

In a large bowl, combine the chickpeas, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mash the mixture with a fork until it is slightly chunky. Stir in the tomatoes and vegan mayonnaise.

Divide the mixture among the avocado halves and spread it evenly. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the avocados are lightly browned. Serve warm with extra cilantro and lime wedges, if desired. Enjoy!
