Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Fried Zucchini Flowers.
Step 1
Begin by gently rinsing the delicate zucchini flowers, then pat them dry with a paper towel to eliminate any excess moisture.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, blend together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and olive oil until well combined.
Step 4
Gradually incorporate the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter.
Step 5
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until it shimmers invitingly.
Step 6
Working in small batches, dip each zucchini flower into the batter, ensuring a thorough coating.
Step 7
Carefully place the battered flowers into the hot oil, frying them until they reach a beautiful golden brown and crispy texture, which should take about 2 to 5 minutes.
Step 8
Once perfectly fried, transfer the zucchini flowers to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess oil.
Step 9
For that extra touch, sprinkle with a little more salt before serving.
Step 10
Enjoy these crispy delights as a delightful appetizer or a unique side dish that showcases the beauty of fresh ingredients.
