Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 large zucchini Washed and sliced into strips
  • 1 cup cream cheese Softened
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh herbs Like parsley, basil, or oregano, finely chopped
  • to taste Salt and pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash the zucchinis thoroughly and cut off the ends. Using a vegetable peeler or mandoline, slice them lengthwise into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix well until you have a smooth and creamy filling.
  4. Lay a zucchini strip flat on your work surface. Spoon a couple of tablespoons of the creamy filling onto the edge, then roll it up tightly. Place the roll seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat with the remaining zucchini strips and filling.
  5. Once all rolls are assembled, pop them in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the zucchini is tender and slightly golden.
  6. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes. For longer storage, freeze before baking, and defrost in the refrigerator overnight before baking.
