Chickpea Fritters are a delicious and easy dinner. A fried plant based patty that is as healthy as it gets. I’m constantly searching for different dinner ideas to spice it up for my family, and these are easy and oh so great!

 

I love an easy dinner, but one that is different and delicious. There are my dinner staples, but then there are meals which totally switch it up for my family, like these Chickpea Fritters! They are perfectly easy, quick, and tasty. Plus, they are a plant based patty that’s lightly fried, which means they are still pretty healthy. My fritters are delicious and easy and my whole family loves them!

 

My chickpea fritters recipe doesn’t have anything out of the ordinary, meaning it’s one of those recipes where you just throw everything into the bowl (in stages) and mix it all together. It doesn’t get any simpler than that, which I love because the prep time is short. We all need quick dinner recipes ready to go!

While my recipe is vegetarian, you can easily make it vegan by subbing classic Parmesan cheese with the vegan version. You can also spice these up any way you like, such as adding hot sauce or a unique spice blend. These are also a great make ahead meal. I prefer to save the frying for right before I’m ready to serve them, but you can also do the entire process in advance. Then put your finished fritters in your freezer, defrost, and reheat whenever you want them.
