Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using fresh spinach for its vibrant color and nutrition, but you could definitely swap in frozen spinach if that’s what you have on hand. Just make sure to thaw and drain it well before using. Nutritional yeast is such a game-changer for adding that cheesy flavor without any plant-based yogurt!
Tips & Notes
- •I keep my fritters in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days; they make a great snack on the go!
- •If you want to kick up the flavor, try adding some chopped fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro to the mixture.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll throw in some diced bell peppers or grated carrots for extra color and crunch!
- •If I’m feeling adventurous, I’ll add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
Storage & Freezing
These fritters store well in the fridge for about 3 days. Just reheat them in a skillet or the oven to get them crispy again. You can also freeze them! Just place them in a single layer on a baking sheet until frozen, then transfer to a freezer bag. They’ll be good for up to a month.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bake these instead of frying?
Absolutely! Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), place the fritters on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and lightly spray with oil. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Start by making your flax flax egg: mix 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed with 6 tablespoons of water in a small bowl. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it thickens.
- 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained chickpeas, chopped spinach, flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
- 3
Once your flax flax egg is ready, add it to the chickpea mixture and mix everything well until combined. You want the mixture to hold together but still be a bit chunky.
- 4
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, scoop about 1/4 cup of the mixture into the skillet for each fritter, flattening them slightly with the back of a spatula.
- 5
Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. You may need to add more oil for the second batch.
- 6
Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce!
