Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Gently wash the fresh pumpkin blossoms under cool running water, ensuring to remove any dirt or insects. Pat them dry.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, water, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and chili flakes until smooth.
  3. Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and drizzle in some olive oil. Allow the oil to heat for about 2–3 minutes.
  4. Carefully dip each pumpkin blossom into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Let excess batter drip off.
  5. Fry the coated blossoms in the skillet for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Once fried, place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
  7. Arrange the warm, crispy healthy pumpkin blossoms on a serving plate and garnish with fresh lemon wedges.
