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!

Vegan Chickpea Sweetcorn Fritters

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!
