Filled Zucchini Flower is a delightful dish originating from Mediterranean cuisine, particularly popular in Italian and Greek cooking. These delicate blossoms are gently stuffed with a savory mixture of creamy ricotta cheese, fresh herbs, and often a hint of lemon zest for brightness. Then, they are lightly battered and fried to golden perfection, creating a crispy, tender exterior. While the frying adds a bit of indulgence, the zucchini flowers themselves are low in calories and high in vitamins A and C, making this a charming treat that balances flavor and nutrition. Perfect as an appetizer or a unique side dish, Filled Zucchini Flowers are a seasonal delight that elevates any meal.
