Categories     100+ Everyday Cooking Recipes     Vegan     Breakfast and Brunch

Time 1h

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup chickpea flour
¾ cup water
¼ cup olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon ground kala namak (Indian black salt)
¼ cup chopped onion
¼ cup diced carrot
¼ cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
½ zucchini, sliced into rounds
¼ head radicchio, cut into thin strips
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Mix chickpea flour and water with a fork until there are no lumps. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and mix until combined. Add oregano, pepper, cayenne, and black salt; mix well and set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in an oven-proof, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrot, and red bell pepper. Cook and stir until onion is translucent and carrot and bell pepper have begun to soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Add 1 tablespoon oil and reduce heat to medium. Add zucchini; cook and stir until softened and browned on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes. Make sure zucchini is evenly distributed in a single layer. Sprinkle radicchio evenly on top. Cover and cook until radicchio begins to wilt, about 1 minute. Do not stir vegetables during this time.

  • Transfer skillet to the preheated oven. Cook until top is firm and edges begin to pull away from the sides, about 20 minutes. Turn on broiler and broil omelette until browned, about 2 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let sit, uncovered, for about 1 minute. Loosen edges with a rubber scraper or spatula. Place a large plate over the skillet and invert omelette onto the plate. Allow to cool for 2 to 3 minutes before sprinkling parsley on top. Serve warm.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 20m

Yield 2 Omelettes, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups vegetables, cooked and chopped
3/4 cup chickpea flour
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
3/4 cup plain unsweetened almond milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup chopped spinach
1/2 avocado, peeled and sliced

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to warm, or preheat a warming drawer. Sauté the leftover vegetables in a nonstick skillet in 2 to 3 tablespoons of water for 3 to 5 minutes to heat through. Stir occasionally, and add water as needed to prevent burning. When the veggies are heated through, remove the skillet from the heat, drain off any excess water. Transfer the veggies to a glass bowl; cover to keep warm. Wipe out the skillet, and set it aside.
  • 2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, and salt. Add the almond milk or soy milk, lemon juice, and ¼ cup water; whisk until smooth. Stir in the spinach.
  • 3. Warm the skillet on low-medium heat. Pour half of the batter into the skillet, and lightly spread out the edges using a silicon spatula so the omelette is 5 to 6 inches in diameter. Cook over low to medium heat until bubbles form across the entire surface of the omelette and the batter begins to firm up, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  • 4. Arrange half of the warmed vegetables on one side of the omelette; cook for another minute. Top the vegetables with half of the chopped avocado (if using), and fold the bare side of the omelette over the filled side.
  • Press the surface of the omelette gently with the spatula, and cook on low for another minute.

Tips:

  • Prepare Ingredients in Advance: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients measured and prepped. This will help you stay organized and save time during the cooking process.
  • Use Good Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your omelette. Opt for fresh, organic produce whenever possible and use high-quality olive oil or butter for cooking.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When cooking your omelette, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the eggs from cooking evenly and result in a soggy omelette.
  • Cook Over Medium Heat: Cook your omelette over medium heat. This will help prevent the eggs from burning and ensure that they cook evenly throughout.
  • Be Patient: Don't rush the cooking process. Be patient and allow the omelette to cook slowly and evenly. This will result in a tender and fluffy omelette.
  • Season to Taste: Once your omelette is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings. You can also add additional fillings such as cheese, vegetables, or meat.
