Ingredients

• chickpea flour - 120 grams
• water - 150 milliliters
• olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• bell pepper - 1 medium, diced

• spinach - 50 grams, fresh
• salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• paprika - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour and water to create a smooth batter. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Pour the chickpea batter into the skillet, spreading it evenly. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom is golden brown.
4. Flip the chickpea pancake carefully and cook for another 5-7 minutes on the other side. Remove from skillet and let cool slightly.
5. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, bell pepper, and zucchini. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
