In a large mixing bowl, combine zucchini, eggs, feta, red pepper, chickpeas, green onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, and parsley. Mix well.
Form mixture into 6 even patties with your hands.
Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties, about 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown on each side and heated through.
Place the patties on the buns and top each with 1 tablespoon marinara sauce. Top with tomato slices and lettuce.
