Description

Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized zucchini
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp ground black pepper
• 1½ oz. herbed goat cheese, room temperature
• ½ roasted red bell pepper, diced
• 2 tsp capers

Directions

• Preheat grill to high heat.
• Slice a strip lengthwise from the zucchini to expose the inside of the vegetable. Discard or reserve for another use. Cut the 2 ends from the zucchini to make straight edges. Cut the zucchini lengthwise into ½-inch strips.
• Brush both sides of the zucchini pieces with olive oil. Season well kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Lay the zucchini pieces on the grill. Cook until the zucchini is very tender, but not mushy, about 3 minutes per side, moving the pieces during cooking to ensure even browning.
• Remove the zucchini from the grill and set on a wire cooling rack.
• Spread about 1 teaspoon of goat cheese on each zucchini slice. Divide the red pepper and capers evenly amongst the zucchini.
• Gently roll each piece of zucchini. Serve.
