In a bowl, mix 320 g of whole wheat flour with a pinch of salt.

Add 100 ml of olive oil, 15 ml of apple cider vinegar, and 100 ml of cold water to the flour mixture.

Mix the ingredients with a fork and knead the dough just enough to homogenize it, avoiding over-kneading to prevent a dense texture.

Wrap the dough in cling film and let it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.

In a bowl, add 200 g of chickpea flour, 2 tablespoons of tapioca flour, 3 tablespoons of nutritional yeast, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of turmeric, 0.5 teaspoon of ground black pepper, 0.5 teaspoon of chili flakes, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black salt.

Add 350 ml of water to the dry ingredients and mix well with a whisk until creamy and lump-free.

Let the mixture sit for 20-30 minutes to hydrate and combine flavors.

Thinly slice a large onion and sauté it in a pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil until cooked.

Slice 3 zucchinis into thin slices of about 2-3 mm and add them to the pan with the onion, cooking for about 7 minutes on medium heat until softened but still retaining texture.

Remove the vegetables from heat and let them cool slightly.

Take the dough out of the fridge and roll it out on a floured surface to form a thin sheet of approximately 3-5 mm.

Transfer the rolled dough to a tart pan with a removable bottom, pressing it slightly on the edges.

Add the cooled vegetables to the chickpea flour mixture and mix carefully.

Pour the chickpea and vegetable mixture over the crust in the tart pan.

Bake the tart in the oven at 180°C for 40-45 minutes until the crust is golden and the filling is set.

Let the tart cool slightly before cutting.
