Keto Zucchini Lasagna Rolls

Ingredients:

  • 3 large zucchinis
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup marinara sauce (look for a low-carb version)
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Zucchini:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • Slice the zucchinis lengthwise into thin strips using a mandoline or a sharp knife. You should get about 6-8 strips per zucchini.
    • Lay the zucchini slices on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Make the Filling:
    • In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Assemble the Rolls:
    • Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
    • Take a zucchini slice and spread a spoonful of the ricotta mixture along the length of the slice. Roll up the zucchini slice and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining zucchini slices and ricotta mixture.
  4. Top with Sauce and Cheese:
    • Spoon the remaining marinara sauce over the zucchini rolls.
    • Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese on top.
  5. Bake:
    • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
    • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Serve:
    • Let the lasagna rolls cool for a few minutes before serving.
    • Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired.
