How to Prepare Easy Crispy Zucchini ‘Fish’ [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Wash the zucchini and cut into 5 long, thin slices. Let macerate (see notes) in a bowl with lemon juice, cumin, pepper, salt, chives, and parsley. Cover with parchment paper and let rest for at least 3 hours.
In a bowl, combine the chickpea flour and baking powder. Add water and stir until a thick paste forms.
Once 3 hours have passed, wrap each piece of zucchini in a sheet of nori and dip in the chickpea flour mixture. Add oil to a skillet and fry until golden, then let drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
