How to Prepare Zucchini Lasagna Rolls

🔥 Preheat oven to 400F (200C).

💦 Wash the zucchini, pat dry, and cut off the ends. Cut each zucchini into 4 slices. For the end pieces, trim a bit from the back so they lay flat.

🧂 Place zucchini slices on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake for 15-20 minutes until soft.

🧊 Let zucchini cool slightly on a plate lined with paper towels.

🥣 In a bowl, mix ricotta, Parmesan, egg, salt, and basil.

🍅 Spread marinara sauce in the bottom of a small baking dish.

🧀 Place about a teaspoon of ricotta mixture on each end of a zucchini slice and roll up. Arrange in the baking dish.

🌿 Top with more marinara and mozzarella.

♨️ Bake for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted. Enjoy your stuffed zucchini rolls!
