Let’s walk through this incredibly simple slow cooker method:

1. Combine Ingredients:

  • In the insert of your slow cooker, combine the drained and rinsed chickpeas, undrained diced tomatoes, chopped onion, sliced carrots, chopped bell pepper, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, cinnamon, optional cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.

2. Add Broth and Stir:

  • Pour in the vegetable broth.
  • Stir all the ingredients together well to ensure the spices are distributed and the vegetables and chickpeas are mixed.

3. Cook:

  • Cover the slow cooker securely with the lid.
