  • step 1
    ingredients 4 cups Zucchini (grated; or 2 large Zucchini)
    Salt to taste
    instructions Place the zucchini in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Set aside for 15 minutes. Put the zucchini in a towel and wring out the liquid.
  • step 2
    ingredients   
    instructions Grease a baking sheet and place a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper on the bottom.
  • step 3
    ingredients 4 cups water
    3 cups Chickpea Flour
    instructions Bring the water to a simmer over medium heat. Gradually pour in the chickpea flour while whisking constantly. Season with salt and pepper. Once all the flour is in, whisk rapidly until the mixture is thick and most of the lumps have been worked out, like a thick pancake batter, about 1 minute. Take care to adjust the heat to so the batter doesn't boil or it will become too thick. Stir in the zucchini.

    ingredients  
    instructions Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth out with a small spatula. Refrigerate until cool, about 1 hour.
  • step 5
    ingredients Olive Oil for deep frying
    instructions In a heavy bottomed pot, add olive oil to the pan for deep frying. Heat to 370 degrees F.
  • step 6

  • step 7
    ingredients 1 Lemon (cut into wedges)
    instructions Working in batches so as not to overcrowd the pan, add the fries. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted utensil to a paper towel lined plate and season immediately with salt. Squeeze a few lemon halves over the fries and season with salt just before serving.
