Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium (sliced thinly) onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, cumin powder, onion powder, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Gradually add water to the dry ingredients while whisking, ensuring a smooth batter without lumps. Set aside for a few minutes to rest.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they become tender and lightly golden.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour half of the chickpea batter over the cooked onions in the skillet, spreading it out evenly.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook the omelette for about 5-7 minutes until the edges are set and the top is beginning to firm up.
Gently flip the omelette over using a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side.
Transfer the cooked omelette to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter and onions, using the second tablespoon of olive oil.
Garnish the omelettes with chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your vegan onion omelette warm!
