Ingredients

• 1 cup Chickpea flour (also known as gram flour or besan)
• 1 cup Water
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
• 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Black salt (kala namak) or regular salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 cups Fresh spinach, roughly chopped
• 0.75 cup Plant-based shredded cheese (e.g., vegan cheddar or mozzarella)
• 1 teaspoons Olive oil (for greasing)
• 0.5 cup Optional: Diced vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie pan or oven-safe skillet with 1 teaspoon of olive oil.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, water, almond milk, nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, black salt (or regular salt), garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until smooth. Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to hydrate the chickpea flour.

Step 3

Fold the chopped spinach and any optional diced vegetables into the batter. Stir until evenly combined.

Step 4

Pour half of the batter into the prepared pie pan or skillet. Sprinkle half of the plant-based shredded cheese across the surface. Pour the remaining batter on top and sprinkle the rest of the cheese over the top layer.

Step 5

Place the frittata in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set.

Step 6

Remove from the oven and let the frittata cool slightly for 5-10 minutes to firm up before slicing.

Step 7

Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with fresh herbs or a side salad, if desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
