Oven Roasted Stuffed Squash Blossoms Recipe

Oven Roasted Stuffed Squash Blossoms Recipe

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bunch rainbow chard, stems removed and leaves chopped
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 3 ounces chevre (goat cheese)
  • 8 zucchini blossoms, stamen removed
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pan over medium heat; add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in chard and cook until soft, about 10 minutes. Add basil, salt, and pepper, and cook until basil is soft, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely, about 15 minutes. Place cooled chard mixture between 2 towels and press to remove excess moisture.
  3. Stir chevre and chard mixture together in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Fill zucchini blossoms about 3/4 full with the goat chevre mixture, and pinch the ends closed. Place filled blossoms in a roasting pan; drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  4. Roast in the preheated oven until blossoms are hot, about 10 minutes.
