Vegan Spanish Omelette Recipe
This is a simple and easy-to-make vegan Spanish omelet recipe that consists of a potato omelet with onions.
Although making it is easy, its taste is layered and fluffy with great texture.
We can smell it already... If we managed to get you wondering about it, too, let us list the ingredients.
Ingredients
- 2 bottles of Just Egg plant-based egg substitute
- 2 medium-size potatoes
- 1 roasted red peppers
- 1 large onion
- Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 tablespoon of paprika
- Ground pepper
- Salt
Instructions
First, fill a deep pot with water. In this water, we will boil the potatoes. But first, we need to cut the potatoes into rings. Put the potato rings in boiling water and continue cooking until tender.
Get a pan and start preheating it. Meanwhile, finely chop the onions. Then, mince the garlic. Put 3 tablespoons of olive oil in the preheated pan and start sautéing the onions. Add the crushed garlic and continue to sauté it for 5 minutes.
Now, we will add the roasted red peppers to it.
To continue cooking, add the chopped parsley to the onions, paprika, salt, and pepper and sauté them together for a while. Put the vegetables you sautéed in a deep mixing bowl. Add boiled potatoes to it and mix gently.
Pour the vegan eggs into another deep mixing bowl. Beat well. Slowly pour into the vegetable mixture and mix gently once more. Pour the entire mixture into a cake tin. Bake in a controlled manner. When the mixture solidifies, just like a cake, it’s done. Invert onto a large flat plate. Sprinkle some scallion on it.
Notes
If you don’t want to use ready-made roasted bell peppers, you can make your own at home. After washing 1 red pepper, dry it thoroughly. Make a few holes with a knife and lay it on the stove. Turn the heat on low and roast the pepper, turning it occasionally. Put the pepper in cold water, peel the skin and cut into rings.

What Else Can Be Used for a Vegan Spanish Omelet?
You want to change your omelet and are unsure what to use. Maybe we can help you with that, too.
You can freely change what’s bothering you about your omelet within your diet.
For example, can’t eat onions that big? No problem. You can grate them instead of chopping them.
If you do not like roasted peppers, you can chop and sauté them while fresh.
Do you want to diversify? Then, try adding broccoli or baby spinach to the final stage of the mix before it goes into the oven.
Enhance with tofu or cook on the stove instead of in the oven. If you are a bitter lover, add dried cayenne peppers to it.
This dish gives you every opportunity to use your imagination.
We also have some recommendations to go with vegan Spanish omelets. Next to this dish, we love tomato dishes. For example, you can make mini bruschettas.
You can even enrich those bruschettas with dipping sauces. You can also prepare guacamole and toast tiny bread or vegan tortilla chips on the side.
We even have the perfect Guacamole recipe for you.
These are our ideas, but you can try plenty of other variations and side dishes. What else would you add to a vegan omelet? Feel free to share with us in the comments.
