  • Author: isabil
  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 (Makes approximately 16 rolls) 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium-sized zucchinis
  • 2 large carrots
  • 1 cup vegan cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional Toppings: Crushed nuts, seeds, or microgreens

Instructions

  • Prepare the Vegetables:
    • Wash and peel the zucchinis and carrots.
    • Use a mandoline or vegetable peeler to slice them lengthwise into thin strips.
    • Lay the strips on a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  • Make the Filling:
    • In a bowl, combine vegan cream cheese, parsley, dill, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
    • Mix until smooth and creamy.
  • Assemble the Rolls:
    • Lay a zucchini strip on a flat surface.
    • Spread a thin layer of filling over the zucchini strip.
    • Place a carrot strip on top and roll tightly.
    • Secure with a toothpick if necessary.
    • Repeat with remaining strips and filling.
  • Add Toppings:
    • Garnish each roll with optional toppings like crushed nuts, seeds, or microgreens for added flavor and texture.
  • Chill and Serve:
    • Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes before serving to allow the rolls to firm up.

Notes

  • Choose Fresh Produce: Use firm zucchinis and carrots for easier slicing and better texture.
  • Use a Mandoline: For even, thin slices that roll easily.
  • Experiment with Fillings: Try hummus, guacamole, or a cashew-based spread for variety.
  • Serve Immediately: These rolls are best enjoyed fresh for optimal taste and texture.
  • Customizable: Add spices like chili flakes or herbs to the filling to suit your taste.
