Ingredients for Zucchini Puff Pastry Roses
- 1 roll puff pastry (rectangular)
- 1 1/2 zucchini
- 1 to taste salt
- 1 to taste freshly ground pepper (I use a mixed peppercorn blend)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Tools Needed for the Recipe
- 1 Pastry Wheel
- 1 Mandoline
- 1 Muffin Pan
Preparation of Zucchini Puff Pastry Roses
Unroll the puff pastry. Cut it into 6 long strips using the pastry wheel.
On each strip, sprinkle a pinch of salt, some pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.
Clean, wash, and finely slice the zucchini. Place the zucchini slices on top of the puff pastry strips, allowing them to extend about 1/4 inch from the edge
Roll up from the narrow side and place the roses in the muffin pan (or alternatively in disposable molds), taking care to slightly press and seal the closing edge.
Preheat the oven to 480°F and bake in the hot oven for about 40/45 minutes, depending on the oven. Always check the cooking; once nicely golden, remove the roses from the oven and let them cool or chill before serving. Enjoy your meal!
