How to prepare zucchini for rolls

1. Zucchini is cut lengthwise into thin sheets so that they can be easily rolled. If the zucchini is cut into thicker strips, it may unravel when rolled. In this case, you will have to secure it with a toothpick. The heat treatment of zucchini slices can be any:

They are fried in a frying pan in oil to make the dish more satisfying and nutritious. They can be prepared independently, breaded in flour or egg batter. The filling is evenly distributed onto the prepared zucchini “tongues” and wrapped into a roll. If desired, secure with a skewer.
Pieces of zucchini are baked in the oven or on a grill without oil to make the snack low-calorie and healthy. As in the previous case, the filling is applied to the zucchini and rolled up.
Very thinly sliced (2-3 mm) raw zucchini slices are filled with filling. Roll it up, place it in a mold and bake it in the oven under a cheese crust or sauce. You can also cook rolls in the microwave for 3-5 minutes under the lid, in a slow cooker in the “stewing” or “baking” mode for 15 minutes, also under the lid.

2. Grind the zucchini on a grater or using a food processor. Vegetable chips are mixed with other products.

For liquid pancake dough, add flour, eggs, milk and fry the pancake in a frying pan. The finished pancake is greased with filling and rolled into a roll.
For baking in the oven, eggs, semolina, and cheese shavings are added to the dough. The mass is distributed in a layer on a baking sheet and baked. The finished baked cake is coated with filling, rolled into a roll and cut into portions.

3. Fried zucchini tongues are made not the outer, but the inner layer. It is spread on pieces of pita bread, dough, minced meat, minced meat fillet..., rolled into a tube and baked in the oven.
