Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl, combine the chia seeds with 1/2 cup of water and let them sit for about 15 minutes until they form a gel-like consistency.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
- 3
Once the chia seeds have gelled, add them to the dry ingredients along with the chopped parsley and 1/4 cup of water. Mix until everything is well combined; the mixture should be thick but spoonable.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- 5
Scoop about 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture into the skillet for each fritter, flattening them slightly with the back of a spatula.
- 6
Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they’re golden brown and crispy. Add more oil as needed.
- 7
Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Serve warm!
