Ingredients
- 454 g (1 lb) zucchini (about 3 medium), grated
- 2 green onions, roughly chopped

Directions
- In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, green onions, parsley, garlic, lemon zest, salt, pepper, Saputo Ricotta di Campagna, eggs, and flour. Stir well.
- Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it bubbles, being careful not to let it smoke.
- Add the zucchini batter to the hot oil in mounds of 30 ml (2 tbsp), carefully spreading them to create 3-inch fritters.
