Equipment
- Mandolin slicer or vegetable peeler
- 9x13-inch baking dish
- Large mixing bowl
- paper towels
Ingredients
- 4 medium to large zucchini
- 3 cups sugar-free marinara sauce
- 15 ounces ricotta cheese
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 ½ cups grated parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 4 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper optional
- Salt
For Serving
- Extra mozzarella and parmesan optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by spreading the marinara sauce evenly on the bottom.
- Slice zucchini into long, paper-thin strips. Generously salt the strips to draw out moisture and let them rest.
- In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, cream cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, eggs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Pat the zucchini strips dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Place about 2 teaspoons of the cheese filling on one end of each zucchini strip and roll it up.
- Arrange the rolled zucchini in the prepared baking dish, seam-side up, packing them snugly. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown around the edges.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with extra mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
Make Ahead & Storage
- This dish can be prepared a day in advance; cover and refrigerate before baking.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and reheated in the microwave or oven.
- Baked rolls can be frozen for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe bag.
Notes
Salting the zucchini strips before cooking is crucial to prevent a watery texture. For a heartier meal, consider using a meat sauce instead of marinara.
