Air Fryer Stuffed Squash Blossoms

Servings 4 (as a side)

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Ricotta
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan Finely grated
  • 1 clove Garlic Minced
  • 1 tsp Lemon zest
  • 1 tsp Basil Finely chopped
  • 1 tsp Italian parsley Finely chopped
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 pinch Black pepper
  • 10-12 Squash blossoms Stamens removed
  • 2 Large egg whites (Save the yolks for something else! You can cure them or make curd.)
  • 1/2 cup All purpose flour
  • Avocado oil spray
  • 1/2 cup Marinara For dipping

Instructions

  • Make the ricotta mixture! To do this, add ricotta, parmesan, garlic, lemon zest, basil, parsley, salt and pepper to a bowl and mix until smooth and fully incorporated.
  • Stuff the prepared squash blossoms with the ricotta mixture. You can do this by hand, with a spoon, or with a piping bag. Twist the ends of each flower to close them. Then dunk in egg white and roll in flour.
  • Spray your air fryer basket and each squash blossom with avocado oil. Then air fry at 375° Fahrenheit for 14 minutes, tossing halfway through. Serve immediately with some warm marinara!
