Roasted Garlic Cheese Fritters [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Ingredients

For the Fritters:

• 12 garlic cloves
• 1 small leek
• 1 15-ounce can chickpeas
• 7 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 4 tablespoons vegan Parmesan
• Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Cashew Parmesan:

• 1/2 cup cashews
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• A pinch of salt (optional)

Preparation

To Make the Cashew Parmesan:

1. Use a blender to process all ingredients to a Parmesan-like texture.

To Make the Fritters:

1. Wash and chop the leek into fine bits and peel the garlic cloves. Fry both using a bit of oil in a small saucepan until they begin to brown. If you want to make this oil-free, use a bit of vegetable broth instead.
2. Give chickpeas, nutritional yeast, garlic, vegan Parmesan, salt, and pepper (to taste) into the bowl of a food processor or blender. Blend until all is well combined but not too smooth – leave some texture.
3. Finally, combine leek with the chickpea mixture in a bowl and form small fritters with your hands. Fry or simply bake them at 400° F for around 15 minutes.
