Zucchini Roll Ups

Its that time of year . . . when the zucchini are abundant and I'm on the lookout for new ways to include it in our menu.
This idea combines a cooked veggie filling with softened cream cheese spread on a long, thin slice of zucchini. These are crisp, crunchy and tasty BUT need to be eaten shortly after assembling as they become "watery" if allowed to set for too long. 
We used these as a fresh and healthy side dish but they would also be used for snacks or appetizers. 

Zucchini Roll Ups
Zucchini - sliced longwise as thin as possible (I used a mandolin)
Spreadable Cream Cheese
Seasoned Salt
Sautéed Veggie Mix -- in this case: diced onions, one kale leaf finely chopped, a couple of chopped mushrooms sautéed in just a little olive oil
Chopped Pimentos 
  1. Lay out sliced zucchinis and spread with a thin layer of cream cheese. Sprinkle lightly with seasoned salt.
  2. Spoon on a thin layer of sautéed veggie mix and a few pimentos.


  3. Roll up beginning with narrowest end. Secure with toothpick.
  4. Eat immediately or shortly after preparation.
