Ingredients
Scale
2 medium zucchinis
1 pound ground beef
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup marinara sauce
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the zucchinis lengthwise into thin strips.
In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.
In a bowl, mix the cooked beef, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Place a spoonful of the beef mixture on each zucchini strip and roll them up.
Place the zucchini rolls in a baking dish and cover with marinara sauce.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the zucchini is tender.
Notes
For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes to the beef mixture.
Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
These rolls can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator before baking.
