Zucchini Rollups With Ricotta

Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchinis
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp dried Italian herbs
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Olive oil spray

Instructions

  • Prep the Zucchini:
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the zucchinis lengthwise into thin strips (about 1/8 inch thick) using a mandoline or sharp knife. Lay them on a paper towel, sprinkle lightly with salt, and let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture. Pat dry.
  • Make the Filling:
  • In a bowl, combine ricotta, Parmesan, egg, garlic, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  • Assemble the Rollups:
  • Spread a spoonful of ricotta filling on each zucchini strip. Roll up tightly and place seam-side down in a baking dish with a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom.
  • Bake:
  • Spoon the remaining marinara over the rollups and sprinkle with mozzarella. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes, until bubbly and golden.
  • Serve:
  • Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
