Zucchini Rollatini is a tasty, cheesy, veggie-loaded dish! Create with bits of grilled zucchini filled with a basil-cheese filling, then wrapped and topped with marinara, mozzarella and baked in the oven till the cheese is melted and hot.
Swapping pasta for zucchini in those roll-ups create them keto-friendly and low-carb. Zucchini is one of my favourite veggies.
This recipe was super simple and fairly fast to whip up. To create the zucchini pliable and also to decrease liquid when grilled them, i on my grill pan prior to rolling and filling.
For first time, I baked them more longer but I did not enjoy how watery they had been. This time, I just bake for 20minutes and they came out perfect, not mushy or watery and the zucchini had the ideal feel, it’s so great! This can be prepped beforehand then baked when ready to consume.
The ingredients needed to make zucchini are very easy to obtain or may already be in your storage. But if you don’t have the ingredients, you can buy them at the nearest grocery store.
