Chickpea Frittata with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce- an eggless frittata made from vegetables and garbanzo bean flour. Perfect for healthy breakfasts, brunch or dinner! (vegan + gluten-free)
Thank you guys so much for sending Coco your well wishes on Friday. We received the results of her blood work and it looks like she has pancreatitis, which honestly is music to my ears.
Obviously I would like for her to be 100% healthy but given the fact that she’s 13-years-old, my mind immediately jumped to the worst case scenario. Hearing that it’s something that’s treatable is beyond relieving. Now we just have to put her on a low-fat diet and hope that does the trick!
But enough about my old pup, let’s talk about this amazing chickpea frittata. I know the word frittata might lead you to believe there are eggs in this, but nope- it’s entirely egg-free, vegan, and gluten-free!
Instead of eggs, we’re using chickpea flour (or garbanzo bean flour) which, surprisingly, gives it a similar texture and flavor.
I got the idea for this recipe from this incredible plant-based restaurant in the Marina District called Seed + Salt. It’s one of those places that takes me a good 20 minutes just to decide what I want because everything looks SO good.
Eventually I landed on the Cobb Salad with smoky eggplant bacon, chickpea frittata, and house made ranch. You guys, it was even better than it sounds.
I was blown away by how amazing everything was and left with a hankering to recreate their delicious chickpea frittata. So naturally, I did what any other sane food blogger would do and called them to ask for the ingredients. In case I might be allergic to something I ate. ;)
As it turns out, the ingredient list is super simple: chickpea flour, water, and oil cooked with fresh seasonal vegetables. I had to make it a few times to get the ratio of flour to water and oil right, but it turned out just as I had hoped.
I served it with an easy roasted red pepper sauce to add a little color and flavor, and the result is perfect for brunch or dinner. It also reheats really well so it makes great leftovers if you aren’t feeding a large crowd.
