Oven roasting the squash blossoms, instead of frying, makes this a nice light summer dish. I’m lucky that my favorite grower at the farmer’s market is growing a squash variety just for its blossoms. If you have them in your garden, pick your squash blossoms early in the day, and store in the fridge until ready to use. Be sure to use the day you pick them as they have a short life. They can be served as an appetizer, a breakfast dish, or lunch dish. I’m eating mine with a green salad for lunch. They’re versatile.

Thanks Sherry. That’s great. I’ll check this weekend to see if you have a new button for me.
I’ve never thought of eating the blossoms. What a great idea!
It’s popular in many cultures and is yummy!
It’s so beautiful, too! I love the idea of eating flowers.
I don’t know why I have never tried the blossoms, they look so yummy, and your recipe is easy enough to follow, maybe I should try. Not sure what my husband would say to that though, lol. Blessings!

They are good – try them as an appetizer to see if he likes them.
I have yet to try squash blossoms, but they are growing in my garden so now is the time! I like that you oven baked these, thanks!
I must be leading a sheltered life, never having heard about eating (or stuffing) squash blossoms!
They are eaten in several cultures.
never heard you can eat those flowers. Have to tell my neigbour about that 🙂
They are tasty!
I’ve never had squash blossoms but I have to say these look delicious!
They are really good – give them a try.
Hello from Idaho and found your blog by the way of Gatina and it been a while since I had squash blossoms.
If you fine the time stop on in for a cup of coffee
Thanks for the visit.
I’ve never had squash blossoms before… looks lovely (and yummy)!
They are!
I want to try this! I’ve always thought they looked so good. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

That is something I have never made, nor eaten…. it does look good though. 🙂
You should try it – it’s tasty!
I never realized you could eat the flowers too and we had a such a lovely squash crop too. UGH. I’ll have to wait for the next crop to try them out, it sounds so interesting
Do try it. Traditionally squash blossoms are filled with a cheese mix and fried, but I oven roast for less fat. They are delicious.
These look delicious Carol and definitely something different to try. Thanks for linking up and sharing with us at #overthemoon. I’ve pinned and shared on social media. Have a great day and see you next week!

Thanks for the pin and share – have a wonderful day!
These sound really good. I have had these flowers deep fried before but oven roasting them is much easier. Yum!
Easier and healthier but still taste delicious
It is so pretty as well as food! Thanks for sharing at Home Sweet Home!
