What makes this tofu and veggie frittata so fluffy? In a word, aquafaba, that thick liquid you see on top when you open a can of chickpeas. I try to make aquafaba from scratch whenever possible, but the quickest and easiest way is to use the liquid from canned chickpeas. The liquid is often used in vegan baked goods as an egg substitute since its texture and composition of starches and protein make it useful for thickening, binding, emulsifying, and foaming—and it’s great in recipes that need a little fluff. This vegetable frittata puffs up nicely and is chock full of vegetables. Enjoy!
Chef’s tips:
Black salt, or kala namak, is used extensively in Indian and other Asian cooking and its sulfuric smell resembles eggs. You can find it any Indian grocery store, but you can also substitute sea salt.
You can use the liquid from canned or boxed chickpeas or other beans, or you can make your own.
To make this gluten free, replace the all-purpose flour with brown rice flour.
