Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

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. (Cook time: ~28 minutes)

03

Step

Stir goat cheese and chard mixture together in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Fill zucchini blossoms about 3/4 full with the goat cheese 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. (Prep time: ~15 minutes)

04

Step

Roast in the preheated oven until squash blossoms are hot, about 10 minutes. (Cook time: ~10 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chard mixture.
If you can't find rainbow chard, spinach or Swiss chard make excellent substitutes.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
A drizzle of balsamic glaze after roasting adds a touch of sweetness and acidity that complements the savory filling beautifully.

    Next time I'm going to try adding some toasted pine nuts to the filling for added texture.

    These were absolutely delicious! The roasting method is so much lighter than frying.

  • Vivienne Feilroberts

    I added a little lemon zest to the filling and it brightened the flavor beautifully.

  • Waylon Gottlieb

    Make sure you gently squeeze out the excess moisture from the chard, otherwise the filling will be too wet.

  • Jarrett Batz

    These are so elegant and easy to make, perfect for a summer dinner party!

  • Nikki Bergstrom

    I couldn't find chevre, so I used ricotta cheese instead. It worked great!
