When I was creating this recipe I nearly used cream cheese as the main filling. I use it a LOT! But right at the last minute I switched to goat's cheese and I'm so glad that I did! I chose a mild cheese but if you prefer a stronger flavor - go for it!

The cheese is mixed with some wonderful fresh basil, and then rolled into slices of grilled zucchini - if you're a vegetarian you'll particularly love these - but of course everyone can enjoy them!

How to Make Keto Zucchini Rolls

Prepare the zucchini by slicing it thinly - a mandoline is the best tool for this task! But don't worry if a slice isn't perfect - if it's missing one end then you can absolutely still use it - just roll up the zucchini slice later from the imperfect end so that it is in the middle!

Cook the slices on a preheated grill or grill pan - if using a pan you will have to cook them in batches.

While the zucchini is cooking, combine soft goat's cheese, chopped fresh basil and black pepper together in a bowl.

Spoon about a teaspoon of the cheese mixture onto the end of a piece of zucchini, then roll it up and place on a serving platter. If it unrolls you can use a little of the mixture as glue - or just place them seam-side down. 

This recipe makes about 18 rolls, and you can serve them warm (although you might want to set up a production line for this option), room temperature, or cold!

The combination of flavors is a simple one but is fantastic - whether you're a vegetarian or not!
