Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 medium Carrot
- 0.5 Red bell pepper
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 0.5 cup Chickpea flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.75 cup Water
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
Grate the zucchini and carrot using a coarse grater. Place them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
Finely dice the red bell pepper and thinly slice the green onions.
In a large bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, carrot, red bell pepper, and green onions.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, baking powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Add the dry ingredients to the vegetable mixture and stir to combine.
Gradually add water to the mixture, stirring until a thick batter forms. It should be able to hold together, but not be too runny.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with olive oil.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture into the hot skillet and flatten slightly with a spatula. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Repeat with the remaining batter, spraying the skillet as needed with olive oil.
Serve warm as a snack or appetizer, with your favorite dipping sauce.
