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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour, baking powder, chopped parsley, chopped mint leaves, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 3
Gradually add the water to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until you have a smooth batter. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Heat the olive oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Fry each beignet for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp.
Step 8
Use a slotted spoon to remove the beignets from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 9
Serve warm, garnished with extra parsley or mint if desired.
