Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 200 grams Chickpea flour
- 250 ml Water
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 3 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 cups Olive oil
Instructions
Wash and grate the zuchhini, and place it in a colander to drain. Lightly sprinkle with salt and let it sit for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour, baking powder, chopped parsley, chopped mint leaves, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Gradually add the water to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until you have a smooth batter. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.
Squeeze out any remaining moisture from the grated zucchini using a clean kitchen towel, then add it to the batter and gently fold until combined.
Heat the olive oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the pan. Fry the beignets in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry each beignet for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the beignets from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve warm, garnished with extra parsley or mint if desired.
