Presentation
Air fryer stuffed squash blossoms are an elegant and refined dish, perfect for a gourmet dining experience at home. The combination of fresh flavors, the savoriness of the anchovy being contrasted by the sweetness of the ricotta, along with the crispy texture of the flowers will make this dish an absolute hit among your guests. In addition, cooking in an air fryer will be a real “panacea” for this dish, because flowers with traditional frying tend to risk absorbing too much oil, instead with this method they will be definitely more pleasant and lighter. A delicious, original and light option to enrich your menu! Enjoy!
