Ingredients  

  • 6-8 zucchini flowers depending on size (go for the bigger ones!)
  • 6 tablespoons ricotta cheese
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
  • 0.5 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon kimchi mayo
  • good frying oil

Instructions 

  • Wash the zucchini flowers well and open them up gently to dry on a kitchen towel.
  • In a small bowl, gently mix the ricotta, lemon zest, and the seasoning.
  • Fill each zucchini flower with about one tablespoon of filling, then "seal" it back up.
  • Fill a deep, heavy pan with about a quarter of an inch high amount of your favorite frying oil (I used avocado) and bring to a a sizzle.
  • Pan fry the stuffed zucchini flowers for about 3 minutes on each side. They should be light and crispy.
  • Drizzle and/or dip into the kimchi mayo.
