Once you have prepared the sauce and the zucchini lasagna rolls, cover the bottom of a baking dish with sauce and carefully place the zucchini roll ups on top of the sauce.

Tips And Tricks For Making Zucchini Lasagna Rolls

Use a mandoline slicer for super thin slices of zucchini. This will ensure they cook quickly and are tender.Thoroughly pat the zucchini dry before adding the filling. If there is too much moisture left on the vegetable, they will be hard to roll and keep cohesive while serving. For an even more decadent dish, add additional mozzarella and parmesan cheese and broil for 2-3 minutes after the initial cook time. This will give you a bubbly cheese “crust” over the top of your zucchini roll ups.

Zucchini Roll Ups Variations

Make them meaty. Add browned Italian sausage or ground beef to the zucchini roll ups.Use Squash. Use a summer squash to make veggie strips instead of zucchini if you have extra in your crisper or garden.Change up the cheese. Not a fan of cream cheese? Try ricotta or cottage cheese as a filling instead. Switch up the sauce. If you’re more of a fan of white or cream sauces, feel free to try this dish with one of those instead. It’s guaranteed to be just as satisfying!

How Long Do They Last?

For the best results, I would suggest enjoying these zucchini roll ups within 4-5 days of preparing them. The zucchini will continue to release a small amount of water after they are cooked, so the longer they sit, the more delicate the vegetable will become. This changes the texture significantly.
