Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- 0.75 cup water
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions
Step 1
Grate the zucchini using a box grater and transfer to a clean kitchen towel. Wring out the excess moisture from the zucchini.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, water, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to create a smooth batter.
Step 3
Add the grated zucchini and chopped parsley to the batter, stirring until well combined.

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.

Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the zucchini batter into the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 6
Fry each beignet for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp.
Step 7
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked beignets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the Vegan Beignets de Courgettes warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
