Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Zucchini Lasagna Roll-Ups
  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Using a mandolin or a sharp knife, slice the large zucchini lengthwise into thin strips, approximately 1/8 inch thick.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, half a cup of Parmesan, the two large eggs, garlic powder, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until the filling is smooth and creamy.
  3. Take one zucchini strip and spread a thin layer of the ricotta filling evenly across its surface. Carefully roll the zucchini strip into a tight cylinder, placing it seam-side down in a baking dish.
  4. Pour the marinara sauce generously over the assembled Zucchini Lasagna Roll-Ups, ensuring each roll is covered. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan and a generous cup of grated mozzarella cheese on top.
  5. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.

Allow the baked roll-ups to cool for a few minutes before serving; this helps the flavors set and makes slicing easier.
