Why I Love This Vegan Chickpea Omelette
As someone who is always looking for a hearty, savory breakfast, this chickpea omelette checks all the boxes for me. Plant-based, filling, and brimming with flavor, it’s a recipe that has become a staple in my rotation.
What I love about this omelette is the fluffiness along with the warmth of spices like turmeric and vegetables. It’s impressive how chickpea flour can mimic the classic omelette experience, with no eggs required.
I like to mix and match vegetables every time I make it, depending on what’s in my fridge. Sometimes I’ll go classic with spinach and tomatoes, other days I’ll toss in mushrooms or zucchini for a change of pace.
If you’re into savory, satisfying, and easy weekday meals, this chickpea omelette is a must-try. Aside from breakfast, I find it makes a solid quick lunch or a light dinner, especially when paired with a leafy salad or some crunchy toast.
Some of my favorite add-ons and serving ideas for this omelette are:
- Aside of smashed avocado on toast
- Agenerous sprinkle of cilantro or parsley
- Fresh tomato salsa or a touch of hot sauce
Whatever combination you go with, you end up with a meal that’s easy, healthy, and seriously satisfying.
