Recipe | Fried Zucchini Blossoms


Fried zucchini blossoms are one of the most delicious things you can eat! They are crisp and delicate and makes for a perfect appetizer or a mid-afternoon snack.


The recipe is so simple; blossoms are dipped in a batter and deep fried. The batter usually is a basic one with all purpose flour, salt, and water but I swapped all-purpose flour for gram flour which has a slightly nutty flavor, also perfect for gluten-free eaters. The nuttiness turned out to be a great match for the blossoms. Here’s how I made it

P.S. You can find zucchini blossoms at the farmers market.

Recipe: Fried zucchini blossoms

Ingredients

8–12 Zucchini blossoms
1 cup of gram flour
½ teaspoon of turmeric
½ teaspoon Sea Salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground Black pepper
Seltzer water
Sunflower seed oil for deep frying

Method

Heat frying oil to about 350F. Combine gram flour, turmeric, salt and pepper then whisk in seltzer water to form an almost smooth batter. Small lumps are fine. The batter should be just thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

One by one, coat the blossoms in batter and gently lay them in oil. Don’t overcrowd the pan. Cook flipping once, until golden brown. It takes about 3–5 minutes total. Once cooked, transfer to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with sea salt and serve hot.
