Zucchini and feta rolls are a delicious dish, extremely easy to make with only 2 ingredients. It’s perfect as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. The taste is truly special thanks to the combination of the milder zucchini and the savory and tasty feta cheese. We will cook the rolls directly in the air fryer, without adding even a spray of oil: it’s not necessary! Alternatively, you can cook them in a pan with a drizzle of oil. To accompany them, I created a delicious cream also based on feta, but you can serve them as you prefer: directly like this or with your favorite sauce. As you will see, making these rolls is really easy and quick, and you can also prepare them in advance to have them ready for the evening.

Steps
Wash a zucchini, dry it, and slice it very thinly. I used a vegetable peeler to make them even thinner. Meanwhile, cut the feta into cubes. Prepare the wooden skewers separately.
Place a cube of feta inside a slice of zucchini and roll it up completely to create a roll, then insert it into a skewer. Proceed to make the other rolls in the same way. I placed 4 rolls on each skewer.
Transfer the rolls into the air fryer without adding oil, and cook at 356 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes. Alternatively, you can cook them in a pan with a drizzle of oil.
In the meantime, prepare the cream. In a bowl, place the feta and mash it well with a fork. Add a drizzle of oil and the fresh mint cut into pieces. Add a few drops of water and mix; continue to add more water (a little at a time, mind you) until you obtain a creamy consistency.
Now we can plate and serve the rolls with the cream. Enjoy your meal.
Tips for You
✔ Zucchini and feta rolls are great both hot and cold. They keep in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
✔ You can accompany them with any other sauce or eat them as they are.
✔ For this recipe, no need to add oil!
✔ It’s necessary to cook the rolls directly in the basket of the air fryer without trays or parchment paper: this way they will cook thanks to the air passing 360 degrees from bottom to top, allowing for ideal air frying. Trays or parchment paper would obstruct the air circulation in this case.
✔ I recommend using the BBQ mesh to place directly in the non-stick basket of your air fryer: the mesh protects the non-stick coating of the basket (which will remain like new) and allows the food to cook evenly, letting the air pass 360 degrees. You can find it on Amazon by clicking here.
✔ Alternatively, you can use perforated parchment paper, which allows the air to pass from bottom to top. You can find it on Amazon by clicking here: link.
✔ For this recipe, I used the air fryer COSORI 5.5 which you can find on Amazon here: link
