Italian Stuffed Zucchini Flowers (Fried) Recipe | Crispy Ricotta-Stuffed Zucchini Blossoms

0 likes 0 reviews 5 views

Stuffed zucchini flowers is a classic appetizer in Italy, especially popular during the summer when fresh zucchini blossoms are in season. These delicate flowers are filled with a creamy mixture of ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, and fresh herbs, then coated in a light, crispy batter and fried until golden brown. The result is a perfectly crisp exterior with a rich, creamy, and flavorful filling.

Ideal as an appetizer, snack, or part of an Italian antipasto platter, Fried Stuffed Zucchini Flowers are elegant yet surprisingly easy to make. Serve them hot with lemon wedges or marinara sauce for an authentic Italian dining experience.

Cooking Method

Gently rinse the zucchini flowers and carefully remove the stamens without tearing the blossoms.
In a bowl, combine the ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, basil, parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Spoon the cheese filling into each zucchini flower and gently twist the petals closed.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cold sparkling water until a smooth batter forms.
Heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep pan.
Dip each stuffed flower into the batter, coating it evenly.
Fry in batches for 2–3 minutes, turning occasionally until golden and crispy.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Garnish with grated Parmesan and serve immediately with lemon wedges or marinara sauce.
