Zucchini and Chickpea Fritters

The zucchini and chickpea fritters are tasty vegetarian bites, perfect to enjoy as a main course or as finger food for a home aperitif. Making these fritters is simple and quick, requiring few and simple ingredients: zucchini, chickpeas, flour, and, if desired, you can add spices for flavor. I cooked the fritters in a pan with oil and served them with yogurt sauce: finger-licking good!
