Step-by-Step Instructions for Vegan Zucchini Rollatini
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté chopped spinach in olive oil for 3–5 minutes until wilted. Drain excess moisture.
  3. Wash and slice zucchinis lengthwise into thin strips, about 1/8 inch thick.
  4. Arrange zucchini strips on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake for 15–20 minutes until softened.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine cooked spinach, vegan ricotta, basil leaves, Italian seasoning, and salt. Mix until well blended.
  6. Spread marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Place ricotta mixture on one end of a zucchini strip and roll tightly.
  7. Drizzle remaining marinara sauce over the assembled rollatini and sprinkle with vegan mozzarella cheese. Bake for an additional 20 minutes.
  8. Let the rollatini cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.

Notes

Ensure zucchini is sliced thinly for easy rolling. Drain spinach thoroughly to avoid a watery filling. Experiment with different greens or herbs for a unique twist. Keep an eye on baking time to avoid overbaking zucchini. Nutritional yeast can be used if vegan mozzarella isn't available.
