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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Serve:
Let the lasagna rolls cool for a few minutes before serving.
