Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- 0.75 cup water
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 0.5 cup, finely chopped red onion
- 0.25 cup, chopped fresh parsley
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour, salt, black pepper, ground cumin, and mix well.
Gradually whisk in the water, ensuring there are no lumps and the batter is smooth.
Stir in the finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and lemon juice.
Let the batter sit for about 10 minutes. This allows the flour to hydrate fully.
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the batter into the skillet per fritter. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Cook fritters for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil as needed between batches.
Serve the fritters warm with your favorite paleo-friendly dips or toppings.
