EASY APPETIZERS


Sometimes, you need quick appetizers. Something that's tasty, doesn't overpower the main dish, and most importantly, doesn't take hours to make! We love these easy cheesy zucchini bites from Real Mom Kitchen. How delish do they look? Plus, all you need are four ingredients! 

Cheese Stuffed Zucchini Rolls

  • 3 small zucchini 
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil 
  • kosher salt 
  • 1/2 cup garlic-herb cheese spread (like Rondele or Alouette)

  • Slice zucchini into 1/4 inch thick slices lengthwise.  A mandolin works best for this but you could always use a good old knife.  Discard the two outer slices that are mainly skin.
  • Place the remaining slices on a baking sheet brush with olive oil on both sides, you should have around 15 slices.  Lightly sprinkle one side with salt to taste.  You just need a little, or none at all if you prefer.
  • Place slices directly on a grill that has been preheated to medium.  Grill the slices until grill makes show on both sides and the zucchini is tender.  This could take 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Remove the slices from the grill and place on the baking sheet.  Allow to cool.
  • Once cooled, place 1/2 Tbsp of the cheese spread at one end of each zucchini slice.  Roll the slice up beginning with the end where the cheese spread is and secure with a toothpick.  Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.  These can be made up to a day in advance. Makes around 15 rolls.
