Fried Zucchini Flowers

The late summer is just shining in its full splendor and the temperatures are pleasantly warm. What could be nicer than sitting together with friends, drinking an iced glass of white wine, and snacking some tasty antipasti? These fried zucchini flowers should not be missing on your antipasti platter! They are completely vegan and therefore do not need any egg. And you only need a few ingredients to prepare them. And believe me, the crispy result will deeply impress your guests.

Notizen

*The coating should be enough for about 10 zucchini flowers or even 12. I turned the mini zucchini in it and deep-fried them as well.
*You can deep-fry the zucchini flowers in the pan if you don't have a hot-air fryer. Just cover the bottom of a pan with oil and fry them in it. Alternatively, if you want to deep-fry them to the brim, fill the pan with oil so that the zucchini flowers float, heat up, and then deep-fry them. Make sure to use an oil that is suitable for frying!
*Instead of using only water try 50ml of sparkling water and 50ml of beer or white wine.
*You can adjust the frying time in the hot air deep fryer to your taste. Depending on how crispy you like your zucchini flowers. Next time I will deep-fry them a bit longer
