- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 zucchini
- to taste spices
- to taste extra virgin olive oil
Steps
Zucchini and Bacon Rolls are super easy and quick to prepare. First, clean the zucchini and cut them into very thin slices. If you have a mandoline, feel free to use it.
Overlap two slices of zucchini, stuff the base with a small piece of scamorza cheese, form a roll, and wrap it in some bacon. I used the coppa type, but regular streaky bacon works too.
Season the breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese and spices to taste (I used dried parsley, dried rosemary, and black pepper) and bread all the Zucchini and Bacon Rolls.
Skewer the Zucchini and Bacon Rolls (I made 5 with 6 rolls each and one with 5), place them on a non-stick baking tray, drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil, and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 15 minutes until golden.
Notes:
Zucchini and Bacon Rolls can be stored at room temperature for a few hours or in the fridge for a couple of days. You can use either streaky bacon or coppa bacon. You can use mozzarella or another cheese of your choice.
