 Edible
flowers look good enough to eat, and they are. It’s
undeniable that serving up flowers is a fresh way for
guests to enjoy your garden.
Flower experts recommend this recipe as a tasty side dish.
Try it with grilled chicken or salmon.

until crisp and golden; change
the oil if necessary between batches.
Drain on paper towels. Garnish with parsley. Makes 12.
