Getting started with the Mediterranean Diet Zucchini Roll-Ups is easier than you think. First, grab two fresh zucchini and slice them lengthwise into thin strips using a mandoline or sharp knife. Aim for slices that are thin enough to roll easily, but not so thin they break.
Next, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, lay the zucchini slices in a single layer. Lightly brush them with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 5 to 7 minutes until they're pliable but not fully cooked.
While the zucchini is in the oven, prepare the filling. In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese with crumbled feta, chopped fresh basil, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Add a touch of salt and pepper to taste.
Once your zucchini is ready, take each slice and spread a spoonful of the cheese mixture across it. Roll up tightly from one end to the other.
Place your rolled-up delights seam-side down on a platter, and they're ready to serve! Enjoy your delicious Mediterranean treat!
