Ingredients

• Zucchini - 100 grams, grated
• Carrot - 100 grams, grated
• Bell Pepper - 50 grams, finely chopped
• Cooked Chickpeas - 150 grams, mashed
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced

• Ground Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, grated carrot, chopped bell pepper, mashed chickpeas, minced garlic, and chopped parsley.
2. Add ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mixture, and stir until well combined.
