The cheesy zucchini rolls are a delicious, easy dish to make that everyone will love. We’ll use the air fryer to cook them: as you’ll see, it takes just 6 minutes to cook the zucchini and then only 5 minutes for the rolls. This recipe is very simple to make and requires very few ingredients: a zucchini, cooked ham, and cheese.
The cheesy zucchini rolls are perfect as a side dish or as a dinner saver! They are prepared in just a few minutes, just the time to roll them up. You can also cook the zucchini rolls in the oven by increasing the temperature and cooking times (all instructions are below).

Steps
First, let’s prepare the zucchini. Remove the ends and cut them into thin slices about 1-2 mm thick. Place them in the air fryer basket, add a pinch of salt, a grind of pepper, and a spray of extra virgin olive oil. Cook them at 356°F for 6 minutes.
Meanwhile, cut the cheese (provolone or drained mozzarella) into pieces about 0.8 inches long and 0.4 inches thick. Also prepare the cooked ham, you’ll need a small piece for each roll.
Take a slice of zucchini, place a piece of cooked ham and a piece of cheese at one end, then roll it up to form a roll. Do the same with all the zucchinis.
Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper and place the rolls on top. The parchment paper is necessary to prevent the cheese from dripping underneath. Cook the rolls in the air fryer at 356°F for 5 minutes, or in the oven at 392°F for 15 minutes.
Once ready, serve them still cheesy or cold. Enjoy your meal.
Tips for You
✔ To cook the rolls, we need to use parchment paper: this way the cheese won’t drip through the holes of the basket. Moreover, it takes only 5 minutes, the time needed to melt the cheese.
✔ For this recipe, it’s necessary to cook the breadcrumbed cordon bleu directly in the basket of the air fryer without baking pans or parchment paper: this way they will cook thanks to the air that circulates from bottom to top, allowing for ideal air frying. Baking pans or parchment paper would hinder the air circulation inside the air fryer in this case.
✔ The oil sprayer I used is available in supermarkets. I recommend one of these because its spray is very misting and controlled, and it’s really excellent. You can find some by clicking here. Alternatively, you can buy a spray bottle that you can fill with your preferred oil. Here’s a link to a great sprayer here.
✔ For this recipe, I used the COSORI 4.7 air fryer, which you can find on Amazon here.
