Method
- In a large bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until mostly broken down but still slightly chunky.
- Add the grated zucchini, grated carrot, diced bell pepper, green onions, garlic, and parsley. Mix well to combine.
- Stir in the eggs, flour, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and baking powder until the mixture holds together. If it seems too wet, add a little more flour.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture per fritter into the skillet and flatten slightly with a spatula.
- Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Work in batches, adding more oil as needed.
- Transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain briefly.
- Serve warm with lemon wedges.
Notes
For extra crisp fritters, make sure the zucchini is well squeezed dry before mixing. If the mixture feels loose, add flour one tablespoon at a time until it holds together.
