How to prepare zucchini rolls?

Start by washing the zucchini and cutting it into thin slices. You can use a vegetable peeler or a mandolin to get even, thin pieces perfect for rolling. After slicing the zucchini, dry the slices with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

The next step is to prepare the filling. Mix grated mozzarella, chopped garlic, and fresh basil in a bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste to give the filling a pronounced flavour. Place a strip of Parma ham on each zucchini slice and add a teaspoon of the prepared filling. Then, tightly roll the zucchini to form a roll.

Place the prepared zucchini rolls in an ovenproof dish and sprinkle grated Parmesan on top. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for about 15-20 minutes until the cheese melts and the zucchini is slightly browned.
