A delicious and healthy vegan twist on traditional rollatini made with fresh zucchini and spinach.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 medium zucchinis, sliced lengthwise
  • 500 g fresh spinach, washed, chopped, and cooked
  • Fresh basil leaves, chopped (to taste)
  • 240 g vegan ricotta
  • Vegan mozzarella cheese, for topping
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • Pinch of salt, to taste
  • 1 cup (240 ml) marinara sauce
  • Olive oil, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the chopped spinach and cook for 3–5 minutes until wilted and excess liquid has evaporated. Set aside and, once cool, squeeze out excess water.
  3. Wash zucchinis, pat dry, trim the ends, and slice each zucchini lengthwise into 4 even strips. Adjust end pieces to ensure they lay flat.
  4. Arrange zucchini slices on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and bake for 15–20 minutes until softened. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  5. Combine vegan ricotta, cooked spinach, chopped basil, Italian seasoning, and a dash of salt in a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly until homogeneous.
  6. Spread a layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 20×20 cm baking dish.
  7. Place a zucchini slice on a flat surface, spread ricotta-spinach filling along the surface, and roll it up. Repeat with all slices, arranging the rolls seam-side down in the baking dish.
  8. Drizzle additional marinara sauce over the zucchini rolls and sprinkle liberally with vegan mozzarella cheese. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the filling is heated through.
  9. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for several minutes. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Make sure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the spinach to prevent the dish from being watery.
  • You can substitute the vegan cheeses with your preferred brand.
  • This dish is ideal for meal prep and can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days.
