How to Make Zucchini And Chickpea Pancakes

  1. Shred the zucchini using a food processor or a grater. Place shredded zucchini in a large bowl.
  2. Finely julienne the zucchini flowers and herbs.
  3. Add the julienned zucchini flowers and herbs to the bowl with the shredded zucchini.
  4. Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and chickpea flour to the bowl.
  5. Gently mix all ingredients. The zucchini’s moisture might be sufficient to create a batter; if not, gradually add 2-4 tablespoons of water until a moist, but not runny, batter forms.
  6. Heat a small non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and spread it evenly across the pan.
  7. Pour half of the batter into the hot pan and spread it into a roughly 6-inch circle.
  8. Cook for approximately 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip carefully when the edges begin to set and the bottom is lightly browned.
  9. Repeat steps 6-8 with the remaining batter and olive oil.
  10. Once cooked, remove the pancakes from the pan and cut into wedges.
  11. Serve the zucchini and chickpea pancakes hot or at room temperature. Enjoy!
