Preparation

Step 1

Slice zucchini into 1/4 inch thick slices lengthwise. Toss the two outer slices that are mainly skin, or save them to add to a salad.

Place the remaining slices on a baking sheet brush with olive oil on both sides, there should be around 15 slices. Lightly sprinkle one side with salt to taste.

Place zucchini directly on a grill that has been preheated to medium. Grill the slices until grill marks show on both sides, and the zucchini is tender, about 3 minutes per side.

Remove the zucchini from the grill and place on the baking sheet and cool.

Place 1/2 tablespoon of the cheese spread at one end of each zucchini slice. Roll the slice up beginning with the end where the cheese spread is and secure with a toothpick.

Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. These can be made up to a day in advance.
