Healthy Fried Zucchini Blossoms
The perfect use for your late-summer zucchini harvest!
Ingredients
Filling
- 10-12 zucchini blossoms
- 4 oz soft goat cheese
- 3 tbsp green onion, chopped
- 3 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 tsp pink salt or sea salt
- fresh ground pepper
Coating
- 1/4 cup brown rice flour
- 2-4 tbsp water
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Other
- 2-3 tbsp avocado oil (for frying)
- flakey sea salt (optional for topping)
- chopped green onion (optional for topping)
- red chili flakes (optional for topping)
- thinly sliced jalapeño (optional for topping)
Instructions
Filling
-
Remove stamens from each blossom and discard.
-
Mix the filling ingredients together then gently open each blossom and spoon the mixture in. Twist to close and set aside.
-
Make the coating by stirring the flour and salt together, then mixing in the water 1 tbsp at a time until it reaches a slightly liquid consistency.
-
Cover each blossom in coating, set aside.
Frying
-
Heat a large skillet and avocado oil over medium heat.
-
Once the pan is hot, add the blossoms. Cover and cook for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown. Flip, and cook another 4-6 minutes. (May be tricky to flip, so wait until they are fully golden brown underneath and use a metal spatula).
-
Once cooked through and completely golden, top with optional toppings and enjoy!
