Keto Zucchini Roll-up Recipe
The Zucchini Roll-up Recipe is a fresh, elegant and incredibly delicious appetizer or light dinner. Learning how to make Zucchini Roll-up snacks is a fun way to use fresh summer vegetables creatively.
Ingredients
- 3 medium zucchinis sliced into thin ribbons
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce
Instructions
Prepare the Zucchini
- Slice your zucchinis into thin, long ribbons using a peeler or mandoline for the best results. Lay them on paper towels, sprinkle with a little salt and let them sit for ten minutes.
Make the Filling
- In a large bowl, mix the ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, dried basil, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth, creamy and very well combined for the perfect flavor tonight.
Assemble the Rolls
- Pat your zucchini ribbons dry with a fresh paper towel to remove any excess water. Spread a small spoonful of your cheese mixture onto each ribbon and roll them up very tightly tonight.
Bake the Roll-ups
- Place your rolls, seam side down, onto a baking sheet spread with a layer of marinara sauce. This prevents sticking and keeps the rolls moist, flavorful and incredibly delicious while they bake today.
Melt and Serve
- Top the rolls with any remaining cheese and bake for fifteen minutes until bubbly and golden. These rolls are ready when the zucchini is tender and the cheese is beautifully melted and brown.
Notes
- Make sure your zucchini ribbons are thin enough to roll easily without breaking while you assemble them.
- Use a mandoline for perfectly even, uniform slices that will cook consistently in your oven every single time.
- Add fresh spinach or sun-dried tomatoes to your cheese mixture for an extra boost of color and flavor.
- Feel free to use pesto instead of marinara sauce for a bright, herby, and very refreshing taste profile today.
- If you want a bit of protein, you can stir some cooked, crumbled sausage into your cheese filling tonight.
- Always pat the zucchini ribbons very dry to ensure your rolls stay firm and do not get too watery.
