Vegan Chickpea Omelette
This vegan chickpea omelette is hands down the best plant-based omelette I’ve ever had. Crisp on the outside, soft and tender on the inside, and packed with a a rainbow of veggies. Plus, it’s high in vegan protein, vitamins and minerals.
ingredients
- ¾ cup chickpea flour
- ¾ cup plant-based milk (I used almond milk)
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, optional
- ⅛ teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- ½ red onion, finely chopped
- ¼ cup leek, white part only, thinly sliced
- 5 cherry tomatoes, quartered
- ½ red bell pepper, cubed
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
instructions
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together chickpea flour, milk, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Let the batter sit while you prepare the vegetables.
- In a non-stick pan, heat olive oil. Add onion and leek and sauté for about about a minute. Add tomatoes and bell pepper, and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Right before you're done, toss in the chives as well. Remove from the pan and transfer to a bowl or a plate.
- Pour about half of the omelette batter into the heated pan and almost immediately add the vegetables on top. Pour over the other half of the batter.
- Wait until it bubbles and firms up along the edges, approximately 2 minutes. When able to, gently fold over one side to cook another minute. Cover with a lid and turn off the stove and allow to steam for 5 minutes.
- Serve right away and garnish with fresh tomatoes, minced red onion or more fresh chives.
