Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Whisk the chickpea flour and water with a fork until smooth and free of lumps. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and stir until combined. Add oregano, pepper, cayenne, and black salt; mix well and set aside.
- 3
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in an oven-safe, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot, and red bell pepper. Cook, stirring, until the onion is translucent and the carrot and bell pepper start to soften, about 5 minutes.
- 4
Add 1 tablespoon oil and lower the heat to medium. Add the zucchini; cook, stirring, until softened and browned on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes. Spread the zucchini out in a single, even layer. Sprinkle the radicchio evenly over the top. Cover and cook until the radicchio starts to wilt, about 1 minute. Do not stir the vegetables during this time.
- 5
Stir the chickpea mixture, then pour it evenly into the skillet in a circular motion, starting at the center and moving outward over the vegetables. Cook over medium heat until the edges start to set, 3 to 5 minutes.
- 6
Move the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake until the top is firm and the edges start to pull away from the sides, about 20 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil the omelet until browned, about 2 minutes.
- 7
Remove from the oven and let stand, uncovered, for about 1 minute. Loosen the edges with a rubber scraper or spatula. Place a large plate over the skillet and invert the omelet onto the plate. Let cool for 2 to 3 minutes, then sprinkle parsley on top. Serve warm.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
