INGREDIENTS:

• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• ½ tsp. dried oregano
• ½ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
• 8 small slices of fresh mozzarella
• Fresh basil leaves
• Balsamic glaze

INGREDIENTS NOTES:

ZUCCHINI:

• We can use the medium-sized zucchini as they will be easier to slice and have a nice mix of firmness and tenderness. We can also use a vegetable peeler or mandolin to cut them thinly and we have to be sure they are pliable enough to roll without shattering.

MOZZARELLA:

• We have to use the fresh mozzarella as it gives a creamy texture and melts slightly which makes it perfect. You can alternatively use low-moisture mozzarella or mozzarella string cheeses for a harder taste by slicing them into bite-size pieces.

OLIVE OIL:

• We have to use extra virgin olive oil for optimal flavor and healthful fats. Olive oil adds richness and keeps the zucchini from sticking to the grill.

BASIL LEAVES:

• The bright, fragrant note of fresh basil leaves wonderfully balances the flavors of the cheese and zucchini. A pinch of dried oregano or Italian spice can be used in place of fresh basil if it’s not available.

SEASONING:

• We can season the dish by adding the oregano, red pepper flakes, & garlic powder; which makes them more tasty and spicy but you can alter the spices according to your dietary requirements or personal preferences.

INSTRUCTION:

1. We can cut the zucchini into thin, 1/8-inch-thick strips lengthwise by using a mandolin or peeler.
2. Then we can lightly coat the strips with olive oil on both sides.

4. We can heat a grill or grill pan at a medium-high temperature.
5. Then we can grill zucchini strips for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side or till they are soft & have grill marks.
6. We can put a basil leaf and a mozzarella slice on the zucchini strip end.
7. Or we can also use a toothpick to fasten the roll-up.
8. We can spread them out on a platter pour balsamic glaze over it and serve these mini wraps warm or room temperature.
