How To Prepare The Zucchini
For this recipe, first, you’ll need to grate the zucchini. I use a box grater, but a food processor will work great as well.
Next, place the zucchini in a strainer and press out most of the liquid. You can also place the grated zucchini in paper towels and wring out the moisture.

Yes, you sure can. You can leave them out altogether or substitute them with pecans or walnuts.
