Perfect for when you want something covered in fried beer batter. These fried zucchini blossoms are a great homemade recipe for when you want your veggies to not only be crispy, but also fun to eat.

Fried Zucchini Blossoms

 1 cup Colavita Extra Virgin Olive Oil
 1 cup all-purpose flour
 1 tsp salt
 ½ bottle chilled lagerstyle beer (we used Yuengling)
 8-10 zucchini blossoms (stamens removed)
1

In a large, shallow pot or frying pan, heat about 2" oil over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer reads 350°.

2

Combine flour and salt in a medium bowl, then whisk in beer until almost smooth (some small lumps are welcome—don't over whisk or you'll deflate the batter).

3

One by one, dredge the blossoms in batter, shaking off the excess; gently lay them in the oil.

4

Cook, flipping once with a slotted spoon, until golden brown, about 30 seconds on each side.

5

We actually cooked ours one at a time, because we wanted to get the timing right, without disrupting the other blossoms.

6

Transfer to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with sea salt and devour while hot - but not too hot!
