Perfect for those following a low carb lifestyle, these wraps are easy to prepare, versatile, and satisfying for any meal of the day.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 medium fresh zucchinis, thinly sliced lengthwise (about 1/8 inch thick)

Cheese

  • 4 oz mozzarella, cheddar, cream cheese, or cheese of your choice

Protein Fillings

  • 4 oz grilled chicken, turkey, tofu, chickpeas, or tempeh (optional)

Herbs and Spices

  • 1 tsp fresh or dried basil
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • Red pepper flakes or chili flakes to taste (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Other

  • 2 tbsp olive oil for brushing and grilling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the zucchini slices: Wash the zucchini thoroughly and slice it thinly lengthwise using a mandoline or a sharp knife, ensuring the strips are flexible enough to roll but sturdy enough not to break.
  2. Season and grill the zucchini: Brush each zucchini slice lightly with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Grill on medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side until soft and lightly charred, enhancing flavor and pliability.
  3. Add cheese and fillings: While the zucchini slices are still warm, layer cheese evenly onto each slice to allow it to melt slightly. Add your choice of protein or veggies on top, distributing ingredients evenly.
  4. Roll and secure: Carefully roll up each zucchini slice with the fillings inside, securing with a toothpick if needed to hold the wraps together during serving.
  5. Final melt (optional): Place the wraps in a preheated oven or toaster oven for 5 minutes to melt the cheese completely and meld flavors, creating a warm and cohesive wrap.

Notes

  • Thin but sturdy slices: Aim for zucchini slices about 1/8 inch thick to ensure flexibility without tearing.
  • Don’t overfill: Keep fillings moderate to make rolling easier and prevent spills.
  • Pat dry zucchini: Removing excess moisture prevents sogginess and maintains texture.
  • Use a mix of cheeses: Combining melting and flavorful cheeses adds complexity.
  • Serve immediately: Wraps taste best fresh but can be reheated gently without losing texture.
