Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 small zucchini, sliced
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, almond milk, nutritional yeast, turmeric, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Set aside to let the batter thicken.
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until it becomes translucent.
Add the red bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until they are slightly softened.
Stir in the spinach and cherry tomatoes, and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
Pour the chickpea flour batter evenly over the vegetables in the skillet, spreading with a spatula if necessary, and ensure it covers everything evenly.
Cook on the stovetop for about 5 minutes until the edges begin to set.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the center is firm and the top is lightly golden.
Remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before garnishing with fresh basil.
Slice and serve warm, either by itself or with a side salad.
