Instructions
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9” pie dish and set aside.
- Prep the vegetables. Use a vegetable chopper to dice white onion and bell pepper.
- Use a vegetable peeler to finely shave slices of zucchini. The first 2 shavings on either side of the zucchini will be too small to use for the roll ups.
- In a mixing bowl, combine all of the enchilada filling together. Mix until everything is well combined.
- On a working surface, place a slice of zucchini. Spread roughly 2 tablespoons of the mixture evenly across the slice. Roll the zucchini slice into a spiral.
- Place the zucchini roll up directly into your greased dish. Repeat the process until all of the enchilada mixture is used.
- Top with roll ups with additional cheese, cilantro, and green onion.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the zucchini is tender. Enjoy!
Notes
You may have extra zucchini slices. If you want to use them up, you can roll them into spirals and place it in the pan without filling. These Zucchini Enchilada Roll Ups are best stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for ~1 minute until warm throughout.
