Low-Carb Zucchini Roll

Recipe Description

This Low-Carb Zucchini Roll is a show-stopping appetizer that tastes as good as it looks and is healthy to boot. So whether you are looking for more ways to eat up all those fresh zucchini or simply want to enjoy a veggie-forward dish, this is the recipe for you.

This zucchini roll looks stunning while being a breeze to make. Start with the zucchini. Grate one zucchini on a fine grater, then combine with the beaten eggs. Pour the zucchini egg mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Slice the remaining zucchini into thin rounds and arrange them on top of the base layer. Sprinkle with salt and bake for 20 minutes. While the zucchini base layer is baking, make the filling. The filling is a simple mix of ricotta, minced garlic, and chopped dill. Season with salt to taste. Once the base layer is baked and slightly cool, spread the filling over the top. Gently roll the zucchini base layer up from one end with the help of the parchment paper. Refrigerate the roll for one hour to chill and set. Slice and enjoy!
