• Onion - 50 grams, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced

Steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, grated carrot, chopped red bell pepper, chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped parsley.
2. Add the cumin powder, paprika, coriander powder, salt, black pepper, and chickpea flour to the vegetable mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
3. Drizzle in the olive oil and lemon juice, then mix until the mixture holds together. If it's too wet, add a little more chickpea flour.
4. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a cylindrical skewer shape, about 10 cm long.
5. Preheat a BBQ grill or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
