Rolled Roasted Zucchini Bites

These are a serious hit. Of course, I love them for their heavy hit of Tumeric. Double this recipe as I budgeted 2-3 per person at my party and they were gone within 5 minutes. These nutrient-dense, Vitamin C-and-antioxidant-packed roll ups were the hit of the night. NOTE: Goat cheese is a way easier dairy to digest. It doesn’t irritate your gut as cow dairy does. So on occasion, it is a fabulous treat. Enjoy.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Medium zucchinis
  • 1 Large red pepper
  • 3 OZ Creamy goat cheese
  • 1 tbsp Curry powder
  • 1 tsp Oregano
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Garam masala
  • 1/4 tsp Turmeric
  • Salt and pepper
  • Olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat grill to 350-400 degrees or medium-high. Once hot, quarter red pepper and sprinkle with  oil and place it on the grill until soft and lightly charred.
  • While the pepper is cooking, mix the spices together in a small bowl.
  • Trim the ends and slice your zucchini lengthwise into about 1/8-1/4 inch thick slices.
  • Lightly coat all of the zucchini strips in oil on both sides and then rub the spice mixture onto both sides of the strips.
  • Sprinkle one side generously with salt and pepper.
  • Place the strips on the grill in a single layer for 5-7 minutes.
  • Flip and grill the other side for another 3-5 minutes.  You want them golden brown and slightly charred. Take the zucchini off the grill and let cool on a wire rack.
  • Slice cooked pepper. Strips should be as wide as zucchini.
  • Once zucchini cooled, sprinkle with goat cheese down the length of each strip and place one slice of roasted pepper at the end.
  • Wash your hands to avoid goat cheese all over the outside of the rolls, then roll the strips and place seam side down. Salt and pepper.
  • Serve at room temp.
