Fried Squash Blossoms

Fried Squash Blossoms

This time of year is the only time you can really get this delicious garden fresh treat

…when squash is blooming, but not forming it’s fruit yet

. They are so yummy, and so easy to make…you’ll have a hard time stopping and leaving some blossoms to form squash!

You can use any squash you have…butternut, spaghetti, zucchini, etc. to make these. First, you want to gently pick some blossoms off the vine. You want to use only the “male” blossoms off the vine, as the “female” blossoms are the ones that produce the actual squash. Here’s the difference:

I love to serve these without any sauce, as they are THAT GOOD.

They will take on whatever flavor blossom they are. Zucchini will taste like zucchini, butternut blossoms will taste like butternut, and so on. Head on out to your garden NOW and try them!
