Chickpea flour batter works so fabulously as an egg replacement that many people, vegans and nonvegans alike, could not tell the difference. It is a little bit more work than just mixing everything up and throwing it all into the oven, as the chickpea flour needs cooking first, and the veggies need to be roasted before mixing it all. But, if you have roasted veggies already in the fridge, you can have this Roasted Vegetable Frittata by Rosalie Livingstone ready in less than 40 minutes.
