Ingredients:

4 large zucchinis, sliced lengthwise into 1/8-inch thick strips

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup ricotta cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

1 large egg

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

2 cups marinara sauce

Fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:

Prep the Zucchini: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay the zucchini slices in a single layer on the baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with a little salt and pepper. Bake for 5 minutes to soften, then set aside to cool slightly.

Make the Cheese Filling: In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan, the egg, minced garlic, and dried Italian seasoning. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Assemble the Roll-Ups: Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly across the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Take a zucchini slice and spread a spoonful of the cheese mixture along one side. Roll up the zucchini slice tightly and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining zucchini slices.

Top with Sauce and Cheese: Pour the remaining 1 cup of marinara sauce over the zucchini rolls in the baking dish. Sprinkle the top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

Serve: Remove from the oven and let the dish cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped basil before serving. Enjoy this delicious, low-carb twist on traditional lasagna!
