Procedure:
How to Make Zucchini Flowers Healthy and Tasty with the Air Fryer
- Start with the courgette: wash it and cut it into very small cubes. In the meantime, in a pan, add a drizzle of oil and a clove of garlic in its skin; when the oil is very hot and the garlic is golden, remove it and add the courgettes, a pinch of salt and a little pepper. Let it brown a little, add a drop of water and continue cooking with a lid.
- Clean the courgette flowers of their pistils, trying not to break them.
- When the zucchini is almost ready, remove the lid and finish cooking for a couple of minutes. Place the zucchini in a bowl to cool.
- In the meantime, dry the tofu well and cut it into cubes. Place it in a tall, narrow container, adding the soy milk and salt. Blend with an immersion blender until you obtain a very thick cream. Finely chop the mint with the lemon zest and add it to the container together with the courgettes. Mix the filling well with the help of a spoon and then put it in a piping bag and fill the courgette flowers.
- Once they are all filled, place them on the perforated tray of the air fryer and brush them with a little oil to make them crispy. They will be cooked at 180°, in a previously heated fryer, for 8 minutes.
- In the meantime, you can prepare the sauce: proceed by peeling the cucumber and cutting it into cubes and continue by finely chopping the spring onion. Put everything in a container, adding the Greek yogurt and the chopped parsley, mint and lemon zest and blend everything with the immersion blender.
- Serve the courgette flowers piping hot with the sauce.
Enjoy your meal!
