Keto Stuffed Zucchini
Ingredients:
For the zucchini rolls:
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the tomato sauce:
- 1 1/2 cups sugar-free tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the Zucchini:
- Wash the zucchinis and slice them lengthwise into thin strips using a mandoline or a sharp knife. Aim for slices about 1/4 inch thick.
- Lay the zucchini slices on paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will prevent the rolls from becoming too watery.
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped basil, chopped parsley, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Assemble the Zucchini Rolls:
- Lay a zucchini slice flat and spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture onto it.
- Carefully roll up the zucchini slice, starting from one end, to form a tight roll.
- Repeat this process with the remaining zucchini slices and filling.
- Prepare the Tomato Sauce:
- In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar-free tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper.
- Arrange in Baking Dish:
- Pour a thin layer of the tomato sauce onto the bottom of a baking dish.
- Place the stuffed zucchini rolls seam-side down into the baking dish.
- Bake:
- Spoon some more tomato sauce over the top of the zucchini rolls.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 25-30 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender.
- Serve:
- Carefully remove the stuffed zucchini rolls from the baking dish and place them on serving plates.
- Spoon extra tomato sauce over the top before serving.
