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)
- 1 cup cooked chickpeas
- 1/3 cup grated vegan cheese (optional)
Preparation
Place 1-1/2 cups small broccoli florets into boiling water and cook for about 1 minute until just tender. Drain and run under cold water for about 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.
Optionally, add 1/3 cup grated vegan cheese and mix.
Add the cooked broccoli florets and 1 cup cooked chickpeas. Mix again.
Heat about 1/4-inch of neutral oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Dollop heaping tablespoonfuls of batter into the skillet to form fritters, keeping them spaced apart.
Cook 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.
Tips
The batter will look and feel very sticky, but it will hold together once fried.
