Beautifully decorated zucchini rolls are perfect for a festive table. After all, such miniature but hearty snacks go well with alcoholic drinks, as well as a light snack before the main hot dish. It is worth noting that you can stuff the presented vegetables with completely different products. Today we will consider only 2 cooking options.

1. Zucchini rolls with cheese, garlic and herbs

Required ingredients:

• fresh small garlic - 1-2 cloves;
• low-fat mayonnaise - 90 g;
• hard cheese - 110 g;
• dill, fresh parsley - a small bunch;
• medium-sized young zucchini - 2-3 pieces;
• wheat flour - ½ cup;
• vegetable oil - optional (for frying vegetables);
• s alt, red pepper, dried basil - to taste.

Vegetable preparation process

Zucchini rolls should be formed only when the zucchini has already been processed. They must be washed, cut off the stalks and navels, and then chopped into thin longplates (thickness not more than 0.6 centimeters). After that, the zucchini needs to be sprinkled with s alt, rolled in wheat flour, and then fried on both sides in vegetable oil. To deprive vegetables of fat as much as possible, it is recommended to place them on a paper towel or napkin for a while.

The process of making the filling

To create the filling, grate hard cheese on a small grater, mix it with chopped fresh garlic, basil, dill, parsley and mayonnaise. As a result of such actions, you should have a thick and fragrant mass.

Shaping rolls

For a quick appetizer, place slices of fried zucchini on a flat plate, spread the cheese filling over their surface, and then wrap into rolls and secure with skewers or toothpicks.

2. Zucchini rolls with crab sticks and corn

Since the presented vegetable appetizer is prepared according to the same principle as described above, we will only consider the process of preparing the original filling.

Required ingredients:

• canned corn - 1/3 jar;
• fresh medium-sized garlic - 2 cloves;
• low-fat mayonnaise - 60g;
• crab sticks - 8-10 pieces;
• hard cheese - 70g;
• fresh dill - small bunch.

The process of making the filling

To create such a fragrant filling, you need to mix canned corn, finely chopped crab in one bowlsticks, grated garlic and cheese, chopped dill, as well as low-fat mayonnaise. All ingredients must be stirred with a large spoon and distributed over the fried zucchini, which should then be wrapped in tight small rolls (fixed with skewers).

Proper serving for a festive dinner

Zucchini rolls, the photo of which can be seen a little higher, should be served at the festive table on small flat plates, which are recommended to be covered with lettuce leaves in advance, and also garnished with olives, lemon slices and cherry tomatoes.

Zucchini snack rolls can also be made using walnuts, prunes, boiled rice, sausages, tomatoes, mushrooms, lightly s alted salmon, trout and other ingredients.
