Ingredients
Method
- Chop the ends off the zucchini. Use a mandolin or a sharp knife to slice to zucchini lengthwise into +/- 1/3" thick slices.
- In a small bowl, mix together the goat cheese, pesto, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Use a fork to stir until well-combined.
- One at a time, lay out the zucchini slices and spread the goat cheese mixture evenly across them. Just a thin layer!
- Lay spinach over top of the goat cheese, then place a cherry tomato at one end and being rolling.
- Once you finish rolling each pinwheel, place them on a skewer or use a toothpick to keep them in tact.
- Preheat the oven to 350º. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spread marinara sauce on the foil – and add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if desired! ;) Then place the pinwheels on the marinara sauce and move the baking sheet into the oven.
- Bake for 20 minutes, until goat cheese begins to melt and some of the zucchini is browning.
- Allow to cool, then garnish with fresh basil! (If you garnish with basil while the roll ups are still hot, the basil will brown and look burnt.)
Notes
*We used store-bought pesto from Trader Joe's for this recipe.
