Instructions
- Using a sharp knife or a mandoline, slice the zucchini into ⅛ inch thick slices. Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper, then place your slices on a heated grill for 30-60 seconds.
- Once all the slices have been seared, transfer them to a plate.

- Once all of the components are ready, place a spoonful of pesto on each zucchini slice, then roll it up into a little roll.
- Repeat with all of the others, then serve immediately!
Notes
- If your slices are a lot thicker or thinner than ⅛ inch, the zucchini won’t stand up or won’t be flexible enough to roll!
- If the zucchini rolls don’t keep together, use a toothpick.
