Let’s dig in!

How to Make Broccoli Chickpea Fritters

These vegetable patties are so easy to make! They can be made quickly. They are made with a combo of vegetable and protein so you will have almost all your nutritional bases covered at dinnertime, yeah!

You probably already have the ingredients on hand to make these! You will need:

Similar to our popular, Sweet Potato and Lentil Fritters, these are made with simple ingredients allowing you to customize them how you want! Simple ingredients also means these are kid friendly, which is another bonus if you have pickier kids in the house (like mine!).

These come together quickly in one bowl and then cook quickly on a griddle. I love these for an easy dinner or lunch! Make these on the weekend for meal prep or make ahead as these are freezer friendly. To freeze just wrap the cooked vegetable fritters individually and freeze in a freezer safe container, thaw and heat up on the griddle. (they do get crumbly if you microwave them).

How to Serve Broccoli Chickpea Fritters

These veggie patties are best served warm off the griddle! You can make ahead and reheat – but I really recommend reheating on the griddle so they get crispy again.

My son enjoyed these topped with some vegan cheese and ketchup and I enjoyed in a bowl with some grilled vegetables and avocado. I had leftovers with some vegan herbed cheese, which was fantastic as well!

These veggie fritters are very versatile when it comes to serving! This recipe as is will make 6-7 larger sized fritters, smaller fritters would be great for little hands and you would get more out of the recipe!
