Grilled Zucchini Rolls
These make for a perfect summer appetizer and a lovely side dish for any grilled protein.
Ingredients
- 3-4 Zucchini - washed
- 1-2 Tbs Olive Oil
- 1 Cup Feta Cheese (at room temp)
- 1 jar Roasted Red Peppers, drained
- 1/2 Cup Pine Nuts, dry toasted
- 4-5 sprigs Fresh Thyme
- Toothpicks
Instructions
- In a dry pan, heat the pine nuts until fragrant or until you can see a slight brownness. Remove from pan from heat and set aside.
- Slice your zucchini to form about 1/4 inch thick ribbons. Brush with olive oil. Sprinkle with fresh thyme.
- Place zucchini on the grill and cook until desired tenderness, flipping to get those great looking grill marks.
- Lay cooked zucchini flat and gently spread with feta cheese while warm so the cheese starts to soften.
- Layer a few roasted red peppers on each slice of zucchini. Sprinkle a few toasted pine nuts on top.
- Roll the zucchini up and fasten with a toothpick.
- Sprinkle the tops of the rolls with more pine nuts and fresh thyme.
