Removing Moisture from Zucchini
One thing to note about zucchini is that they are full of water and if you don’t remove that moisture you may end up with a wet, soggy dish. There is a pretty simple way to get that moisture out, thankfully! All you need to do is:
- Slice Zucchini
- Lay slices out on paper towels
- Sprinkle salt all over both sides of zucchini
- Let rest for 15-20 minutes
- Remove any excess moisture with a paper towel before cooking
Steps to Make Zucchini Roll-Ups
- Slice up zucchini. A mandolin makes the job easy – but be careful to not slice open your fingers!
- Cook Sausage.
- Mix all the cheeses, seasonings and sausage together to create a filling.
- Use the filling to stuff the zucchini and roll it up into a circular shape!
- 2-3 Large Zucchini
- 1 lb Italian Sausage, ground
- 1 cup Ricotta Cheese
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
- 1 Egg
- 1 tsp Minced Garlic
- 1 1/2 cups Marinara Sauce
- 2 cups Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
- Salt and Pepper
- Italian Seasoning
-
Preheat Oven to 400 degrees F.
-
Use a mandoline to slice zucchini lengthwise to create long, thin slices. Roughly 1/8 of an inch thick.
-
Place a few paper towels on the counter and lay strips of zucchini on paper towels. Sprinkle each side of zucchini with salt and let rest for 15-20 minutes. Remove excess moisture with a paper towel.
-
In a skillet, add sausage and brown. Drain excess grease.
-
To create the filling combine cooked sausage, parmesan, ricotta, egg, garlic and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, to taste.
-
Add marinara sauce to the bottom of the baking dish.
-
Spread about 1 tablespoon of filling on zucchini slice, add a small amount of mozzarella cheese, and roll it up. Place rolled zucchini in baking dish. Repeat with all zucchini slices.
-
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top of the roll-ups.
-
Place into oven and cook for 25-30 minutes or until it is heated throughout and the cheese on top begins to brown.
