Oil as needed

Directions:

Grate/shred the zucchini and add to a bowl using a grater or processor. Lightly press the zucchini in a paper towel if there is too much moisture.

Process carrots, ginger, garlic, jalapeno in a food processor until shredded and add to bowl.

Process chickpeas until coarsely blended, not fully a paste. Add to the bowl.

Form patties and cook with a little oil in a skillet over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes per side.

To bake, Bake at 400 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes. Broil to crisp for a minute.
