Fried Squash Blossoms Snack image

Savvy gardeners know that flowers from plants in the squash family make flavorful fare. Remove only the male blossoms-those with thin, trim stems-if you'd also like to harvest some squash. You'll find these to be a treat that's tender on the inside and crisp on the outside.-Lynn Buxkemper, Slaton, Texas
