Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 55 minutes
Servings: 12 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 4 zucchini medium to large
  • 3 cups sugar-free marinara sauce
  • 15 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper optional
  • salt to taste and for drawing moisture from zucchini

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch Baking Dish
  • mandolin or vegetable peeler
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Paper Towels
  • Spoon or spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the marinara sauce evenly in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Use a mandolin or vegetable peeler to slice the zucchini lengthwise into long, thin strips.
  3. Lay the zucchini strips in a single layer and generously sprinkle with salt; let sit several minutes to draw out moisture, then pat dry with paper towels.
  4. In a large bowl, combine ricotta, cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, eggs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper until smooth and well blended.
  5. Place one zucchini strip on a paper towel, press to remove excess moisture, then place about 2 teaspoons of the cheese mixture at one end and roll up tightly, keeping the seam side down.
  6. Arrange each roll seam-side down in the baking dish on top of the marinara, repeating until the dish is filled.
  7. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is golden at the edges and heated through. Serve warm.

Notes

  • You can use meat sauce instead of marinara for extra protein.
