Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, garlic, scallion, herbs, ricotta, egg, and lemon zest. Salt and pepper to taste. Mix to combine well.
- Add the flour and combine well.
- Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add 2 tablespoons of the zucchini batter to the hot oil per fritter. Press evenly to form 2- to 3-inch fritters.
- Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3 to 5 minutes total, flipping halfway through. Drain the fritters on paper towels, season to taste with salt and pepper to taste, and serve with lemon wedges. Buon appetito!
