Preparation
- In a bowl, whisk the chickpea flour, salt, and warm water until smooth. Let the batter rest overnight in the fridge.
- Preheat the oven to 500 °F with a cast-iron skillet or baking sheet inside.
- Remove the hot skillet or baking sheet and coat it with the olive oil. Pour in the batter.
- Bake in the oven for 10 minutes until golden and crispy on the edges and underneath.
- Set the oven to broil, transfer the skillet or baking sheet to the upper rack (about 6 inches from the broil), and cook until golden brown on top, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and drizzle some olive oil on top. Garnish with the lemon zest, black pepper, and Parmesan. Slice into wedges and serve warm. Buon appetito!
