Ingredients

1/2 cup 60 g chickpea flour (sifted if lumpy)
1/2 cup 125 mL water
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt or to taste
Optional: 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
3 teaspoons olive oil divided use
2 cups coarsely grated zucchini about 10 oz/ 284 g

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk the chickpea flour, water, salt, optional pepper, and 1 teaspoon of the olive oil until smooth (no lumps).
Add the zucchini to the batter, stirring to combine.
Heat 1 teaspoon of the remaining olive oil in a medium size nonstick skillet (e.g., well seasoned cast iron) set over medium-high heat. Add half of the batter, nudging with a spatula into a 7-inch (17.5 cm) circle. Reduce heat to medium low and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the center looks softly set. Use a pancake turner to flip the soccata. Cook for 4 minutes longer until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with remaining oil and batter. Serve soccatas hot, warm or cold.

Notes

Storage: Store the completley cooled soccatas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Baked Option: Position oven rack to 6 inches below broiler. Preheat oven to 450F (225C). Place a 9-inch cast iron skillet on the top rack. When the oven reaches 450F and the skillet is very hot, add the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil; let heat for 30 seconds, then add all of the batter. Cook for 7 to 9 minutes until set and the socca is pulling away for the edges of the pan. Keep the skillet in the oven. Switch the oven setting to Broil (HIGH). Broil for 1 to 4 minutes, checking regularly, until dark golden brown at edges and browned in spots on the surface of the socca. Remove from oven (be careful skillet will be very hot) and cut into wedges.
