Fried Zucchini Blossoms

July 19, 2021 By Patricia 142 Comments

Fried Zucchini Blossoms are one of my all-time favorite appetizers. If you haven’t had them, seek them out at your favorite restaurants, or try your hand with my easy-to-make recipe. You will not be disappointed with these delicate summer blossoms.

Enjoy a plateful of Fried Zucchini Blossoms this summer for a delightful appetizer | azgrabaplate.com

(Recipe originally posted in 2018)

I have the fondest memories of my mom making Fried Zucchini Blossoms when I was a kid. Our family garden was always overflowing with zucchini in the summer, and when the golden-orange blossoms arrived, we knew we were in for a special treat.

Not only did my mom fry them, but she would also coarsely chop them and add them to frittata. If you’re looking to use zucchini in your frittata, try my recipe for Zucchini-Thyme Frittata for Two. I love this easy dish that’s ideal for any meal. Another wonderful zucchini dish to try is Low Carb Zoodles with Romesco Sauce. It’s so easy to make and it’s also big on flavor!

Fresh zucchini blossoms, perfect to make Fried Zucchini Blossoms

When it comes to summer, who wants to turn on the oven? If you’re looking for a no-oven appetizer or starter, a summer favorite of mine is Yellow Heirloom Tomato Gazpacho. This dish has gorgeous color and fresh-from-the-garden flavor.

It might sound strange to prepare and eat a vegetable blossom, but I can assure you these are wonderful. Unless you have a garden or a friend with a garden, your best bet is to find these at the farmers market. I picked up a bunch recently, and I wish I had bought more!

A single Fried Zucchini Blossom ready to enjoy as an appetizer

Some people stuff the blossoms with different types of soft cheese (spectacularly delicious) but I wanted to keep things a bit more straightforward.

For this recipe, the delicate flowers are dipped into a thin batter and lightly fried until they’re golden. Sprinkle coarse sea salt over the tops while they’re warm and eat them right away.

Just one bite of Fried Zucchini Blossoms is all it takes to fall in love with this appetizer

Fried Zucchini Blossoms are the perfect appetizer to enjoy in the summer, served with a plate of fresh tomatoes, some cheese, and olives (and don’t forget the wine). The blossoms are only around for part of the summer, so I hope you’ll take the time to appreciate their appearance.

Like everything else glorious about this time of year, they’ll be gone before you know it.

Here are a few more delightful appetizer recipes perfect for the summer:

Ingredients

  • 16 fresh zucchini blossoms, stems removed
  • 1/3 cup extra fine flour tipo “00” (you can also use all-purpose baking flour)
  • 1/3 cup plain sparkling water
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Coarse sea salt
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sparkling water and egg. Lightly whisk until combined.
  3. Add the vegetable oil to a Dutch oven or large pan over medium-high heat. The oil should reach about 1/8-inch up the pan.
  4. Dredge each of the blossoms in the batter and allow the excess to drip back into the bowl. Working in batches so you don’t crowd the pan, add the blossoms to the hot oil. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  5. Place on the baking sheet and sprinkle immediately with sea salt. Keep them warm as you finish the remaining blossoms.
  6. Serve warm.

Notes

Using the extra fine flour and the sparkling water are to help keep the batter light and airy, similar to a tempura batter. If you don't have the extra fine flower, you can use all-purpose baking flour instead.

    My brother used to run out to the garden each morning to find the new male blossoms for my mother to prepare! She made them exactly like your recipe, too! So delicious, but their flavor is so unique, it's difficult to describe to someone who's never tried them. You've made me yearn for them now as I haven't had them in years!

    Dear Patricia, fried zucchini blossoms are one of my favorite seasonal recipes. They are so good and I just love them with pasta and a glass of wine. Perfect summer fare. xo, Catherine

      Thanks so much, Catherine! They are one of my favorite things, too! So delicate, and fleeting!

    Fried Fiori di Zucca (Zucchini Blossoms) are my favorite summer eat! I grew up eating them and they remind me of summer and fun and sun. We love them, but this year my in-laws garden is slow, we have had 3 until now and fried them right away. Sometimes I use clod beer in the batter but never an egg, I will have to give your version a try. They look awesome, by the way!

      Hi Nicoletta - Thanks so much! I will have to try your version, too, with beer. These flowers are hard for me to come by, but such a wonderful treat. My mom used the flowers often, but usually in frittata. All good!

    When I was in Italy earlier this year, I tried something very similar from a street vendor. I can't wait to make them at home!

      I've had them stuffed with cheese, but not with anchovies - that sounds amazing! I will try that next! My mom sometimes adds them to frittata.

Welcome to Grab a Plate!

Growing up surrounded by my Italian family it was always, "grab a plate" whenever anyone came to visit. Food was always a celebration, even everyday meals, and I like it that way. I try to make each meal memorable with my recipes for mainly meatless, mostly healthy, and easy-to-make dishes (with sweet treats in between).
