Vegan Zucchini Clouds

Ingredients:

• 2 medium zucchinis
• 1/2 cup chickpea flour (also known as gram flour or besan)
• 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup plant-based milk (such as almond, soy, or oat milk)
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley or chives)
• Cooking spray or a small amount of oil for greasing

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Zucchini:
   • Grate the zucchinis using a box grater or a food processor.
   • Place the grated zucchini in a colander and sprinkle a pinch of salt over it. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow excess moisture to drain.
   • Squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the zucchini using your hands or by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel.
2. Prepare the Batter:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, baking powder, turmeric powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Make the Clouds:
   • Add the grated zucchini, plant-based milk, and chopped fresh herbs to the dry ingredients.
   • Stir everything together until you have a thick batter.
4. Cook the Clouds:
   • Preheat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
   • Lightly grease the skillet with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
   • Spoon dollops of the batter onto the skillet, creating cloud-like shapes. You can use a spoon to spread and shape the batter into circles.
5. Cook Until Golden:
   • Cook the clouds for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
6. Serve:
   • Transfer the vegan zucchini clouds to a serving plate.
   • Serve them warm as a snack, appetizer, or side dish.
   • You can enjoy them on their own or with a dipping sauce of your choice.
