5-Ingredient Zucchini-Feta Roll-Ups

(8)

These zucchini-feta roll-ups are a quick and easy appetizer to pull together, and the recipe is easily doubled (or tripled!) for a larger gathering. You can use summer squash in addition to the zucchini for a pop of yellow color. They are plenty flavorful on their own, but they can also be served with marinara sauce or pesto for dipping.

  1. Stir oil, lemon zest, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and crushed red pepper together in a medium bowl. Add feta cubes; gently toss to coat.

  2. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and coat with cooking spray. Using a mandoline or vegetable peeler, cut zucchini lengthwise into 16 strips. Working on a clean cutting board, place 1 feta cube at 1 end of a zucchini slice. Roll tightly and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining feta and zucchini strips. Lightly coat the tops of the zucchini rolls with cooking spray.

  3. Position oven rack 4 inches from broiler. Preheat to High.

  4. Broil the zucchini rolls, rotating the pan once, until browned and bubbling, 3 to 6 minutes.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
