Ingredients
-
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 goat cheese (chevre)
-
8 zucchini blossoms, stamen removed
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
-
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.
-
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.
-
Roast in the preheated oven until squash blossoms are hot, about 10 minutes.
Cook’s Note
Extra goat cheese mixture can be stored in the fridge for several days. I like to keep extra handy and fill squash blossoms immediately after harvesting them.
