Grilled Zucchini Rolls with Herbs and Cheese
Ingredients
- 3 zucchini, sliced lengthwise into 1/4 inch slices
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/8 tsp salt
- pinch of freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 oz reduced-fat soft goat’s cheese
- 1 Tbsp parsley, freshly minced
- 1/2 tsp lemon juice
- 2 cups baby spinach leaves
- 1/3 cup basil leaves
Discard the outermost slices of zucchini. Brush the remaining slices with olive oil on both sides. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, on a pre-heated grilled, for about 4 minutes on each side, or until tender.
In a small bowl, combine the goat cheese, parsley, and lemon juice with a fork.
Place 1/2 tsp of the cheese mixture about 1/2 inch from the end of a zucchini slice. Top with a few spinach leaves and 1 small basil leaf. Roll up and place the seam side down.
Makes 4 servings.
