Ingredients:
For the fritters:
1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 medium zucchini, grated and squeezed to remove excess moisture
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
For the lemon yogurt dip:
1 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
1. Prepare the fritter mixture: In a large bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth but with some chunks remaining.
2. Add the grated zucchini, parsley, cumin, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, egg, and flour to the mashed chickpeas. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
4. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture per fritter and flatten slightly into patties. Cook in batches for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
5. Transfer cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
6. Prepare the dip: In a small bowl, mix together yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic powder, and salt until smooth.
7. Serve the fritters warm with the lemon yogurt dip on the side.
