Zucchini and Parmesan Rolls

Zucchini and Parmesan Rolls

Posted 2017-04-23 by Annalisa Brownfollow
These little vegetarian appetisers are a wonderful contrast of flavours and textures. The chargrilled zucchini is slightly smoky and creamy in contrast to the sharpness of the Parmesan cheese and the crunch of almond slivers found inside the rolls.

Quick and easy to make, these look chic and taste sensational – they’ll disappear as soon as they’re served.

  • Wash the zucchini and cut lengthwise into thin slices.

  • Chargrill the zucchini slices on a BBQ or under a griller, until they just start turning golden in colour. Chargrill on both sides.

  • Remove from the BBQ and place the zucchini on a chopping board or similar hard surface to cool.

  • Place the almonds flakes over the zucchini slices.

  • Place parmesan flakes over the almonds.

  • Roll each zucchini and secure with a toothpick.

  • Roll each zucchini slice encasing the parmesan cheese and almonds and secure with a toothpick.


    Notes
    I used a mandolin to achieve thin and equal zucchini slices.
