Fried zucchini flowers are a tasty and light side dish, typical of Italian cuisine. The zucchini flowers are filled with a delicious batter made of eggs and white flour and then fried in hot oil until perfectly crispy. This dish is a perfect appetizer to serve during hot summer days!
In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, egg yolks, and half a glass of milk.
Mix well, adding more milk if necessary to obtain a rather fluid batter.
Wash the zucchini flowers and dry them gently, being careful not to break them.
Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold them into the batter: dip the flowers in, making sure they are evenly coated with batter.
Heat the oil and fry the zucchini flowers until they are golden: they should be very crispy.
Drain the excess oil, add salt, and serve immediately garnished with fresh parsley (optional).
