Can I use different vegetables in this frittata?

Yes, while this recipe features asparagus, peas, and carrots, you could substitute other quick-cooking vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or zucchini, ensuring they are finely chopped or thinly sliced.

Why do I need to let the chickpea flour batter sit?

Allowing the chickpea flour batter to sit for at least 15 minutes helps the flour fully hydrate, resulting in a smoother consistency and a better texture for the frittata.

What kind of plant milk works best for this recipe?

The recipe suggests unsweetened soy or oat milk, which provide a neutral flavor and creamy texture suitable for the savory frittata base.

How should I store leftover Chickpea Asparagus Spring Frittata?

Store any leftover frittata in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.

Can I make this frittata ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the frittata a day in advance and store it covered in the refrigerator. Reheat it in the oven at 350 degreesF (175 degreesC) until warmed through before serving.
