FAQs
1. Can I use yellow squash instead of zucchini?
Yes, yellow squash works just as well and can provide a nice color contrast if you mix it with zucchini.
2. How thin should I slice the zucchini?
Aim for slices that are about 1/8 of an inch thick. You want them to be flexible enough to roll without breaking but not too thin that they become mushy.
3. Can I grill the rolls after assembling?
Grilling after assembling is not recommended, as the cheese filling might melt and cause the rolls to fall apart. However, grilling the zucchini before assembling adds a great smoky flavor.
4. Can I make Zucchini Rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can assemble them a few hours in advance and store them in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
Pairing Suggestions
Zucchini Rolls are light, refreshing, and perfect as an appetizer or side dish. Pair them with a crisp, dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio. If you’re serving them as part of a meal, they complement grilled meats, pasta salads, or even a hearty grain bowl. For non-alcoholic options, a sparkling water with lemon or a light herbal iced tea makes for a refreshing pairing.
