Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Roasted Stuffed Zucchini Blossoms.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a medium-sized pan, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Step 3
Introduce the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute, allowing its aroma to fill your kitchen.
Step 4
Next, add the vibrant chopped rainbow chard and let it cook until tender, which should take around 10 minutes.
Step 5
Incorporate the chopped basil, along with a pinch of salt and pepper, and continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes until the basil wilts beautifully.
Step 6
Once done, remove the pan from heat and let the mixture cool for about 15 minutes.
Step 7
After cooling, place the chard mixture between two towels and gently press to eliminate any excess moisture.
Step 8
In a mixing bowl, blend the creamy goat cheese with the cooled chard mixture until they harmonize perfectly.
Step 9
Now, with care, fill each zucchini blossom with the goat cheese blend, filling them about three-quarters full, and pinch the ends to seal in the goodness.
Step 10
Arrange the stuffed blossoms in a roasting pan, drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and sprinkle with extra salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
Step 11
Roast these delightful creations in your preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes, or until they are heated through and take on a lovely golden hue.
Step 12
Enjoy the burst of flavors in every bite!.
