Directions
Fried Basil Leaves, Intrigued? Well, so was I! This is the first recipe I’m posting on the food com after the zaar I found it on basilbasics com, I made these the other day! I didn’t use this recipe, because I didn’t even know you could fry a basil leaf- but I had just fried some zucchini flowers and had a lot of tempura left- so I grabbed the basil I had sitting waiting to become pesto and tried one The tempura stuck to the leaf really well- and I ended up making 2 dozen basil leaves! We ate them- so good Even better than the stuffed fried zucchini flowers! I uploaded a picture of the first one I fried- took the picture right before I ate it!
