Directions
Swapping pasta for zucchini in these roll ups make them low-carb and keto friendly. Zucchini is one of my favorite vegetables. If you need some zucchini inspiration you can see all my zucchini recipes here.,,The inspiration for this dish came from my eggplant rollatini, one of my favorite summer meals. I modified that recipe a bit, keeping the cheese filling pretty simple and swapping the eggplant for zucchini. I looked for two large zucchinis, that were pretty thick so that the rolls would be large enough to make a meal and sliced them with my mandolin (affiliate link) so they are all the same thickness.
