Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 2-3 medium zucchini
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon (crumbled) or cooked ground beef
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Zucchini: Wash and dry the zucchini. Using a mandoline or vegetable peeler, slice the zucchini into thin ribbons. Pat the ribbons dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, Parmesan, mozzarella, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined. Stir in the cooked bacon or ground beef.
- Assemble the Roll-Ups: Lay a zucchini ribbon flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of the cheese mixture on one end of the ribbon, then roll it up tightly. Place the roll-up seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Repeat with the remaining zucchini ribbons and filling.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the zucchini roll-ups for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the tops are golden.
- Serve: Let the roll-ups cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them as a main dish, side, or appetizer!
Tips
- Make it Vegetarian: Skip the bacon or ground beef and add sautéed spinach or mushrooms for a veggie-packed filling.
- Extra Crunch: Sprinkle some extra Parmesan or breadcrumbs on top before baking for a crispy finish.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
