Chickpea fritters mixed with veggies are healthy, packed with good nutrients, plant-based, and some ideal gluten-free, vegan BBQ snacks.

Over the years, I have realized that veggie-based snacks make the ideal replacement for ordinary meat patties or fritters. Veggie lovers will find this recipe helpful and useful as I have used a lot of herbs to adjust a delicious and licking taste.

Chickpeas have an earthy taste, and veggies are tasteless if you don’t add spices, so this is why some little tricks never mess up sometimes. These fritters are my homemade ones, not perfect like the ones you buy in stores; this is why the photos are authentic. They come out quick and fast and with less time.

Fritters with meat and veggies are our beloved appetizers that go perfectly with any salad. Some helpful information about the healthiness of chickpeas you can read here. These pan-fried fritters are egg-free and dairy-free, just veggies and chickpeas with herbs and spices. I have sliced my zucchini in the air fryer for a quicker process; however, you can bake them in the oven if you have more time.

The ingredients:

Chickpeas – I have used canned ones here, but home-cooked can be an option, too.
Onion – two medium shallots, as I like their mild sweet taste.
one medium carrot
One zucchini
Fresh 3 to 5 garlic cloves or garlic powder
Two tbsp of gluten-free flour, or you can use any flour options you have at home

The seasoning:

Turmeric powder ( 1 tbsp)
Black pepper to the taste
Sea salt to the taste
Garlic powder 1 tsp in case you think the fresh one isn’t enough
Red pepper flakes

Here you can add Provence herbs, dried thyme, or oregano for a more intense flavor. As I am making these fritters for my daughter, she doesn’t like pungent tastes, so I have skipped more spices.

Also, you can add more veggies like corn, fresh peppers, celery, mushrooms, and even peas instead of chickpeas. While making the batter, you can mix breadcrumbs with flour and obtain some super crispy chickpeas fritters that taste fantastically.

This is a versatile recipe that you can adjust to your taste. For example, I like garlic, and less onion, while my husband like more of them both.

How to make chickpeas fritters with veggies?

Chickpeas fritters with veggies is an easy and simple recipe with inexpensive products. I like these fritters as they are packed with many healthy nutrients that are satisfying and delicious. It would be best if you did not underestimate cheap dishes as sometimes they can wonder you. These fritters can be served inside a bun like a burger, next to a salad, or cold for a snack lunch.

How to make them? With minimum effort, it takes some time to obtain these beautiful and delicious fritters.

Steps:

First, blend chickpeas so they look like a puree. If you are mixing them too hard, add some olive oil. Set aside.

Wash and dry the zucchini and carrot and cut off both ends. Take a large cutting board and chop the onion, then hold the grater over the board and shred the zucchini and the carrot.

Take a large skillet and fry the onion until golden brown in olive oil.

Transfer the veggies to the skillet and fry for 3-5 minutes until soft. Season with all the spices, and adjust to taste.

Take a bowl and transfer all fried veggies and mix with the pureed chickpeas. Add flour if needed, and adjust the flour to make the batter more consistent if your fritters are too wet and dry. Watch our video below:

On the same skillet, you will fry the patties. Pour some oil into both hands and make some nice-looking fritters. Perfection is not the key, but the flavor. Sorry for my unperfect patties.

Fry them on each side for 5 minutes, or at least until they look nice, firm, and whole.

Enjoy.
