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
• 0 Olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Finely dice the red bell pepper and thinly slice the green onions.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, carrot, red bell pepper, and green onions.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, baking powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Add the dry ingredients to the vegetable mixture and stir to combine.

Step 6

Gradually add water to the mixture, stirring until a thick batter forms. It should be able to hold together, but not be too runny.

Step 7

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with olive oil.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining batter, spraying the skillet as needed with olive oil.

Step 10

Serve warm as a snack or appetizer, with your favorite dipping sauce.
