Zucchini rolls filled with basil ricotta, ready in 10 minutes - a delightful appetizer!
Ingredients:
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- Grated peel of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- Olive oil
- 4 fresh basil leaves
Instructions:
- Slice zucchini lengthwise into 4 thin pieces using a mandoline or sharp knife. (Save the rest of the zucchini in the fridge for later or make more appetizer bites.)
- Combine cheese, lemon zest, fresh basil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Roll up each zucchini slice tightly, securing with a toothpick. Fill the center of each roll-up with the cheese mixture either using a spoon or piping from a plastic bag.
- Arrange the appetizer bites beautifully on a small serving platter. Lightly drizzle them with oil and top each with a fresh basil leaf. Add a sprinkling of extra pepper for more flavor, if you prefer.
