Ingredients:
- 4 medium zucchinis
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup sugar-free marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Cut off the ends of the zucchinis and slice them lengthwise into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and no longer pink, breaking it up into small pieces with a spatula as it cooks. Drain the excess fat and set aside.
- In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic, basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
- Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Lay a zucchini slice flat on a cutting board or work surface and spread about 1 tablespoon of the ricotta mixture over it. Add a spoonful of the cooked ground beef on top of the ricotta mixture, then roll up the zucchini slice and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining zucchini slices and filling.
- Top the zucchini rolls with the remaining marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the zucchini is tender.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
