Ingredients
  

For the Fritters:

  • 500 g Beetroot
  • 1 can Chickpeas or 400 g Cooked
  • 3 Tablespoons Chickpea Flour
  • 1 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • 2 Teaspoons Ground Coriander Seeds
  • 1 Teaspoon Ground Red Chili
  • 2-3 Tablespoons Oil Choose a neutral oil.
  • Salt and Pepper to Taste

For the Whipped Feta (Vegan Option Available)

  • 1 cup Vegan Feta Crumbled
  • 1 tbsp Vegan Greek Yogurt
  • Salt and Pepper to Taste

Instructions
 

Prepping the veggies

  • Thoroughly scrub beetroot to clean dirt, and slice off he tops. Grate into coarse shreds, and remove excess moisture by laying it out on a paper towel and placing another on on top.
  • Mash chickpeas, either with a food processor for a smooth texture or a masher for a rustic feel, aiming for easily moldable consistency.
  • In a large bowl, combine grated beetroot, mashed chickpeas, chickpea flour, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground red chili, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Shape 2 tablespoons of the mix into round or oval fritters, compressing them to hold their shape.

For Baking:

  • Preheat oven to 190°C (374°F).
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper, shape mixture into fritters, and bake for 15 minutes on each side until crisp (total 30 minutes).

For Pan-Frying:

  • Heat oil in a pan over medium heat, shape mixture into fritters, and fry for about 15 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.

Preparing Whipped Feta Dip:

  • Crumble vegan feta into a bowl.
  • Add vegan Greek yogurt, mix well with a fork or whisk until almost smooth, leaving a few chunks for texture.
  • Season whipped feta dip with salt and pepper to taste.
