Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with olive oil.
-
Wash the zucchinis and slice them lengthwise into thin strips using a vegetable peeler or a mandoline slicer.
-
Lay the zucchini strips flat on a cutting board and sprinkle them with salt. This will help draw out excess moisture. Let them sit for about 10 minutes.
-
In the meantime, mix the grated mozzarella and Parmesan cheese in a bowl. Add the breadcrumbs, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
-
Pat the zucchini strips dry with a paper towel to remove the excess salt and moisture.
-
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce at the bottom of the greased baking dish.
-
Take a zucchini strip and place a spoonful of the cheese mixture at one end. Roll the zucchini strip tightly, enclosing the filling.
-
Place the zucchini roll in the prepared baking dish, seam side down. Repeat with the remaining zucchini strips and filling.
-
Once all the zucchini rolls are in the baking dish, spoon the remaining marinara sauce over the top of the rolls.
-
Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the rolls and sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese.
-
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and the zucchini is tender.
-
Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
-
Serve your Zucchini Parmigiana Rolls warm, garnished with fresh basil or parsley for an extra pop of color and flavor.
