Grilled Zucchini and Goat Cheese Roll Ups
Ingredients for Grilled Zucchini and Goat Cheese Roll Ups:
  • 3 small zucchini
  • Olive oil
  • Himilayan Sea Salt and Pepper
  • 3 ounces goat cheese, at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano

Preparation:
  • Heat grill to high
  • Trim off both ends of the zucchini. Trim just a little off the two long sides to even their shape; discard the trimmings.
  • Cut the remaining zucchini into lengthwise strips, each about ¼ inch thick. Brush both sides of the strips with olive oil and season with a touch of salt and pepper.
  • Places the slices on the hot grill at a 45 degree angle to the grates and grill, covered, until well-browned and limp, 3-4 minutes per side. Check the zucchini as they cook and gently move the slices around with tongs for even browning; be careful not to overcook.
  • When done, drape them over a cooling rack to keep them from steaming as they cool.
  • In a bowl, combine the goat cheese with the sun-dried tomatoes, thyme, and a 1/8 teaspoon of salt.
  • Spread one heaping teaspoon of the filling over one side of each zucchini strip and use a mini spatula to spread.
  • Roll up the zucchini, but not too tightly. Put the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
  • Heat the broiler. Sprinkle roles with the grated Parmigiano and brown under the broiler, for about one minute.
