Roasted Radish Lemon Chickpea Pasta with olives! This vegan chickpea pasta recipe is packed with lemony flavor, making it the perfect light, gluten free pasta dinner for spring or summer!

Just letting you know this Roasted Radish Lemony Chickpea Pasta recipe was originally shared in April on Social Media video only. Yes it took me 3 months to finally get it to the blog, with a few tweaks. OYE! But better late than never, right? Haha! 


Guess what friends? We’re celebrating something to day. Okay I am celebrating something, but I want to include you. Cool? You see, 10 years ago I started my gluten free journey! Gasp! Yes, it’s been a decade already.  I do not miss the early days of mushy pasta and rice cake. Thank goodness gluten free products have come a long way! Case and point, this chickpea pasta dish. 

So cue the confetti, because today we here to commemorate the fact that gluten free EATING can be simple, 100% nutritious, fresh, and flavorful!

I’m bringing this Vegan Roasted Radish Lemony Chickpea Pasta to you today as proof in the pudding, errr uhh I mean pasta – non mushy GLUTEN FREE PASTA that is!  For my friends who have been gluten free for as long as I have been, you will get that last one right? Wink, wink! (Ya’ll remember back in the day when every gluten free pasta was made from corn and melted in the pan, right? Ugh, a one pot mush pan. OMG I am glad those days are over! So yeah, there’s the backstory to that.

Moving on now…

As I was saying, gluten free products have come a loooong way. Take the vegan chickpea pasta in today’s recipe. I absolutely adore it! Not only is this chickpea pasta vegan, but it is also filling, high in plant-based Iron, B vitamins, and protein. No grains needed. Holla!

But we need more than just chickpea pasta to celebrate. Come on now, I am not gonna write a whole post just gluten free pasta. Nope.

Let’s talk about what makes this chickpea pasta dish shine!

Two things.

One, the lemony herb marinade with olives,  which I used in thisradish

Overhead view lemon herb sauce in stone bowl with herbs on top.

Here’s what you need for the lemony herb Sauce: ?.

  • Garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, sage or tarragon, honey mustard or regular mustard, spices, and onion.
All ingredients for roasted radish and chickpea pasta salad with lemon sauce.

And two, the roasted Radishes!

Now cue the confetti and nerdy nutrition talk.

  • Did you know summer radishes are also a thing? Yes, watermelon radish, black radish, all kinds of radish! But don’t worry, regular red radishes are usually available year round at the grocery store. They just have a different look and slightly different taste, more sweet. Radishes (all kinds) are great to roast and add into a warm pasta dish or a cold pasta salad.  Oh, and radishes aid in digestion and help protect the liver and gallbladder. Bam!
Macro view roasted radish halves on silver pan.

As if that wasn’t enough of healthy and delicious inspiration for this chickpea pasta recipe, let’s add a couple more, mmkay?

  • Healthy fats from the olives (monounsaturated) and Vitamin C from the burst of lemon marinade. It’s ALL coming to the celebration! And when you add all of this goodness together it equals Superfood POWER!

See, a healthy plant based dish is simpler than you think! But don’t worry you can totally use lentil or paleo pasta too. If it floats your boat. Now, what are you waiting for? Let’s get in the kitchen and commence this celebration dinner!

    I’m not gluten or dairy free but wow this recipe was amazing! I love the lemon and garlic together with the herbs. It tastes fresh and satisfying at the same time. I made this in advance for my husband and I for dinner, and I noticed the gluten free pasta soaked up all the sauce pretty quickly. I advise if you want it saucy to eat right away.

    I’ve been super curious about the chickpea pasta and intend to pick some up the next time we’re shopping.

    I pinned this for when we get radishes in our CSA share. Can’t wait to try it.
