Ingredients
- 1 large zucchini shredded, about 2 cups (see notes)
- ½ cup chickpea flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions
- Shred a large zucchini with a hand grater. If the zucchini is very watery, press the shreds and reserve the liquid (see notes).
- Add the dry ingredients and the shredded zucchini to a medium-sized bowl.
- Mix until a thick batter forms, this may take a couple minutes as the moisture from the zucchini is released. If you pressed the shreds, add the reserved liquid as needed.

Zucchini Notes: If you notice that your zucchini is very watery as you are shredding it, press the shreds before adding the dry ingredients.
