These are delicious! I am always looking for new ways to eat zucchini. You know how you plant one or two plants and end up with a thousand zucchini? This is something else you can do with them! I found this recipe in The Food You Crave cookbook by Ellie Krieger. Here's what you do:
Cut the ends off of the zucchini and use a mandolin to cut them lengthwise.
Brush both sides with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Place in a hot grill pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side.
You are looking for grill marks, so don't flip until you see them.
While these are grilling you are going to mix 1 1/2 ounces of goat cheese (I used reduced fat), 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley, and 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice in a small bowl.
Line up your grilled zucchini and top with fresh spinach and one small or half of one basil leaf. About 1/2 inch from the end, place 1/2 teaspoon of the cheese mixture on top, and roll up the zucchini. Place them seam side down onto the platter.
Serve at room temperature. You can make these a day ahead and store them in an air tight container in the refrigerator.
