Cheezy Chickpea Broccoli Fritters
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups small broccoli florets
- 1/2 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk
- 2 tbsp ground golden flaxseed
- 1/2 cup chickpea flour
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp ground mustard
- 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
- Optional: 1/3 cup grated vegan cheese
- 1 cup cooked chickpeas
Preparation
Place 1-1/2 cups small broccoli florets into boiling water and cook for 1 minute until just tender. Drain and run under cold water for 30 seconds. Set aside.
Whisk vigorously 1/2 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk with 2 tbsp ground golden flaxseed for about 2 minutes.
Pour the mixture into a large bowl with 1/2 cup chickpea flour, 2 tbsp nutritional yeast, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp ground mustard, and 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste). Mix well. Optional: add 1/3 cup grated vegan cheese.
Add the cooked broccoli florets and 1 cup cooked chickpeas to the bowl. Mix again. Note that the batter will be sticky but should hold together when fried.
Heat about 1/4-inch of neutral oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Dollop heaping tablespoons of batter into the skillet to form fritters, spacing them apart.
Fry the fritters for a few minutes until browned on the bottom, then turn and cook until both sides are golden brown. Reduce heat if they start to burn.
