About Fried zucchini flowers

Fried zucchini flowers are a delicate and crispy dish popular in Mediterranean and Italian cuisine. Made by stuffing zucchini blossoms with soft cheese like ricotta or mozzarella, they are coated in a light batter—often of flour, egg, and water—before being fried to golden perfection. These blossoms are rich in vitamins A and C, as well as antioxidants, making them a nutrient-packed vegetable. However, the frying process adds fats and calories, so moderation is key. Perfect as a seasonal treat, they offer a delightful mix of creamy, crunchy, and savory flavors while retaining some of the nutritional benefits of zucchini.
