Savory Plant-Based Omelette

Here is my go-to plant-based omelette.

Preparation Time: 2 Minutes

Cooking Time: 5 Minutes

Ingredients:

1/4 cup chickpea (garbanzo bean) flour (affiliate link)

1/4 cup + 1 tbsp warm water

1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/4 teaspoon turmeric (for colour)

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon dried parsley

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (affiliate link)

Black pepper

Optional fillings

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, first, whisk all of the ingredients together until thinned out and smooth.
2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
3. Pour the mixture into the pan, and tilt the pan to spread the batter to the desired size.
4. Cook for 5-7 minutes then flip, cooking for another 2 minutes.
5. Plate and fill with desired fillings.
6. Top with optional salsa or guacamole.
7. Enjoy!

Cooking Tip:

Don’t taste the raw batter. Uncooked chickpea flour tastes horrible but becomes much better with cooking!

Filling Ideas:

Keep in mind that these omelettes can be small, so make sure to use a small amount of filling. Ideas for fillings include:

• Diced bell peppers
• Cheese
• Tofu (Grated or small cubes)
• Spinach
• Halved cherry tomatoes
• Halved olives
• Chopped onions (of any colour)
• Beans of any kind
• Broccoli
