The most challenging part of the whole recipe is getting the zucchini planks thin enough to be able to easily roll them. The best way to do this is using a mandolin slicer
.
If you don’t own one, use a very sharp knife and be super careful. The zucchini slices have to be sliced and cooked just right to ensure that they will be thin enough to roll, but hardy enough to hold in the stuffing.
One-bite toothpick appetizers are ideal for a variety of occasions. Zucchini Goat Cheese Rolls can be made year round for any parties or occasion. You can even use your leftover roll ups to chopped up and mix in a salad. That’s if there are any leftovers to use!

- 3 large zucchini
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup roasted red pepper cut julienne style
- 4 ounces goat cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper finely ground
- 1/4 garlic powder
- 20 Toothpicks
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat with cooking spray.

This is the tricky part. Cut each zucchini lengthwise into 4 mm (a little less than 1/4 inch) wide planks using a mandolin slicer or very sharp knife.
-
Baste tops with extra virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Bake for 10 minutes, or until soft and malleable. Zucchini will be slightly soft to the touch. Remove from the oven.
-
Spread goat cheese down each plank and then line with roasted red pepper strips. Roll up and secure with a toothpick.
