Description

A healthier twist on traditional lasagna, Easy Zucchini Lasagna Rolls are stuffed with a savory blend of ricotta cheese, spinach, and marinara sauce, all wrapped up in tender zucchini strips. These low-carb, gluten-free rolls are a perfect family-friendly meal!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium zucchinis, sliced lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick strips
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • Slice the zucchinis lengthwise into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Lay the slices flat on a baking sheet and lightly sprinkle with salt. Let them sit for 10-15 minutes to release excess moisture, then pat them dry with paper towels.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, chopped spinach, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  • Spread about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture along each zucchini strip and roll them up tightly. Place each roll in the prepared baking dish, seam side down.
  • Pour the marinara sauce over the zucchini rolls, covering them evenly.
  • Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is melted.
  • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to brown the cheese on top.
  • Garnish with fresh basil if desired and serve warm.

Notes

  • If you want extra flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the ricotta mixture for a subtle kick.
  • For a vegetarian option, you can add extra vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers to the ricotta filling.
  • These zucchini lasagna rolls are great for meal prep and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
