I’m back to my Keto/Low Carb diet and I love incorporating Zucchini in my recipes, for it is so versatile
Made these loaded Zucchini rollups stuffed with rich Paneer and Feta, laid down on a spicy pizza sauce, topped with whole lotta cheese and baked to perfection
You can always use ground chicken/turkey, Ricotta-Spinach, or any veggies of choice for that matter to stuff these, sooo easy and sooo delicious. Tastes just like Lasagna! But without the carbs
Have you tried Zucchini Rollatinis? If not, now is the time
For 9 Rollatinis you’ll need:
1 Zucchini – Thinly sliced lengthwise with a mandeline/peeler. I used a peeler so my slices were too thin and so I used 2 slices one over the over to make rolls. If you’re using a mandeline, you can use single slices)
1 cup Pizza sauce
150 gms shredded paneer
100 gms feta cheese
½ onion thinly chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tbsp olive oil
Shredded Mozzarella/Sharp Cheddar
Some cherry tomatoes – halved – optional
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400 F
Place your thinly sliced zucchini strips on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Sprinkle salt and toss in the oven for 4-5 mins
Bring out of the oven and using a tissue, soak extra moisture that has been released by the zucchini. Set aside and cool
Now for the filling in a pan, add olive oil and onion. Sautee till onion is translucent, add pepper, Italian seasoning, shredded paneer and mix well. Sautee for about a minute. Bring off the flame and add the feta and mix to get a smooth mixture
Take a glass baking dish, and fill it with 3/4th cup pizza sauce
To make the rolls, spread 1 tbsp paneer cheese filling on the slice lengthwise and roll. Place it onto the baking tray on the pizza sauce. Repeat for all
Top the rolls with 1 tsp pizza sauce on each and top with shredded cheese. I use 3 cheese mix but you can use any cheese of your choice. Should look like this. Cherry tomatoes addition is optional
Bake in the oven for 10 mins or till cheese melts. You’re easy, delicious low carb lunch is now ready to be devoured
