Nutritious and delicious oil-free vegan oven omelette with summer squash, carrots and chickpea flour.
There I was the other evening – the fridge almost empty, but needed to fix something for dinner. I only had a summer squash, carrots, half turnip, potatoes, and celery stalks left. I chose omelette.
At first I thought I’d just make a quick wok with some beans and rice, but then noticed a grater and remembered I have chickpea flour in the cupboard, and had another idea – a dish of summer squash-carrot oven omelette with turnip-potato mash and cashew mayonnaise was born.
And finally, please let me know in the comments below if you have any questions about my omelette. Please tag me in social media whenever you try one of my recipes! I’d love to see your creations! Instagram @thenutriplanet and Facebook @nutriplanet.health.hub

Description
Nutritious and delicious oil-free vegan oven omelette with summer squash, carrots and chickpea flour.
Ingredients
OMELETTE
- 1 summer squash, finely grated
- 1 carrot, finely grated
- 1 celery stalk, finely grated
- handful on onion flakes
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 5 tbsp chickpea flour
- marjoram or oregano, Himalayan salt, pepper to taste
TURNIP-POTATO MASH
- ½ turnip
- 4 small potatoes
- a bit of stock powder (I use organic, yeast-free)
- water
Instructions
OMELETTE
- Heat oven to 190C (374F).
- In a bowl, mix the grated vegetables with onion flakes, garlic powder, chickpea flour and oregano, salt, pepper.
- Place this mixture in an oven dish and bake for about 30 minutes (the top of it should be dry, baked).
TURNIP-POTATO MASH
- Peal and cube the vegetables.
- Boil in stock for about 10 minutes or until soft enough to mash them. I used a hand masher and left some bugger chunks in, because I like it! Mix in fresh parsley.
- To finish the dish I quickly prepared some cashew mayonnaise to pour on as well. I halved the recipe, but one can also prepare some extra to store in fridge for next meals.
Notes
As this meal is quite high in fat, make other meals leaner that day or omit the cashew cream and have a slice of whole-grain bread instead.
I served the omelette and mash with green salad (about 200g).
