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!
