This Crockpot Moroccan Chickpea Stew is one of those comforting, slow-cooked meals I make when I want something warm, flavorful, and deeply satisfying without much effort. Everything goes into the crockpot, and as it cooks, the spices gently blend together, filling the kitchen with the most amazing aroma. It’s cozy, nourishing, and perfect for days when I want a hearty plant-based meal.
What I love most about this stew is the balance of flavors. The chickpeas become tender and creamy, while the warm Moroccan-inspired spices add depth without being overpowering. As it simmers, the sauce thickens into a rich, comforting stew that feels both wholesome and special.
I usually serve this with crusty bread, over couscous, or alongside rice for a filling meal. It’s simple, comforting, and the kind of recipe that tastes even better the next day, making it perfect for leftovers and easy weeknight dinners.
