These Baked Vegetable Pakoras are a delicious way to pack lots of vegetables into crisp, baked bites. Adapted from Vegan Richa’s Everyday Kitchen, this recipe is vegan, soy-free, nut-free, and offers a gluten-free option.
Richa Hingle’s new cookbook, Vegan Richa’s Everyday Kitchen, follows her successful blog and bestselling Vegan Richa’s Indian Kitchen. Her site is full of vibrant, flavorful recipes and beautiful photography. I’ve followed her work for years and admire the creativity and care she brings to each dish.
I was thrilled to receive a copy of her latest book and to try these baked pakoras. Traditionally fried, pakoras are a beloved snack; baking them creates a lighter, easier option that still delivers on flavor and texture.
If you want more recipes from the book, a number of blogs have shared their adaptations and reviews, including variations like Black Pepper Cheesy Mac and Broccoli, Red Curry Soup with Lentils, Bombay Potatoes and Peas, Easiest Black Bean Burgers, and Buffalo Chickpea Tacos.
