Vegan Chickpea Sweetcorn Fritters
A healthy snack that’s quick and easy to make and packed with flavour! These vegan chickpea sweetcorn fritters can also be enjoyed as a side or even as a savoury breakfast!
These fritters are easy – mix in one bowl – kind of recipe. You can change it around and add other vegetables or beans that you have available in your fridge/cupboard.
Packed with spices and lightly fried making them taste super delicious whilst still being healthy. They also happen to be fully vegan and gluten-free!
They make a really nice light lunch, but also a great appetiser/side dish. I also love heating up leftovers in the morning to enjoy as a savoury breakfast. As well as being delicious, they’re also a great source of protein & fibre.
What you need to make these vegan chickpea sweetcorn fritters:
Chickpea flour – also known as gram flour. It’s higher in protein and fibre compared to plain flour. It’s also naturally gluten-free. You can find it in the world food section of your local supermarket. Use plain flour if you can’t get hold of it.
Chickpeas – chickpeas are a staple in my house and I always have a can in my cupboard. You can use other beans if you prefer.
Sweetcorn – canned or frozen work.
Spices – I like using a mixture of curry powder, paprika, cumin and chilli powder. You can use whatever you like really.
Lemon juice – just a tablespoon to add some acidity.
Fresh coriander, onion & garlic – to add lots of extra flavour!
