CHEESY BAKED VEGE ROLLS

Fits classically cheesy – and I’m not talking about my humor.

Really people, every combination of zucchini and garlic is heavenly! Plus we add more veggies to create these healthy rolls that are super tasty.

Vege rolls

  

Ingredients ( for about 12 rolls)

Vegetables & Cheese:

  • 1 medium zucchini, grated (salted & drained)

  • 1 medium carrot, grated

  • 1 small potato, grated

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 spring onions or a handful of parsley, chopped

  • 2 eggs

  • 100 g mixed cheese, grated (e.g., mozzarella + cheddar)

  • Salt, pepper, Italian herbs, paprika to taste

  • 4 tbsp oats + 2 tbsp flour (binders of the vegetable mafia)

For Frying / Baking:

  • Olive oil or butter (for brush-frying or baking crust)

Cucumber Dip (optional):

  • 1 tbsp sour cream + 1 tbsp mayonnaise

  • ¼ cucumber, finely diced

  • Pinch of salt (perfectly balanced, like your content tone)

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Veggies:
    Grate zucchini, carrot, and potato. Add salt to zucchini, let stand 10 min, then squeeze dry - nobody wants soggy rolls.

  2. Mix the Magic:
    In a bowl, combine all grateables, cheese, garlic, herbs, eggs, oats, and flour. The mixture should hold together when squeezed. Adjust seasoning.

  3. Roll & Fry/Bake:

    • Option A – Pan-fry: Form small log-shaped rolls. Heat oil in a skillet over mid-heat, cook ~3–4 min per side until golden.

    • Option B – Bake: Press mixture into small rolls, brush with olive oil on baking tray. Bake 180 °C / 350 °F for 20–25 min until golden.

  4. Cucumber Dip:
    Mix sour cream, mayo, cucumber, and pinch of salt. Chill for a crisp contrast to cheesy rolls.

  5. Serve & Brag:
    Garnish with parsley. Place warm rolls alongside dip. Ideal for snacks, appetizer spreads, or topping your fame.

💡 Blog-Ready Tips

  • Texture alert: Ensure zucchini is well-drained—no one likes a watery mess. You'll struggle to make the rolls.

  • Spice it up: Add chili flakes or swap paprika for smoked varieties to lean into bold flavors.

  • Make-ahead hack: Form rolls and flash-freeze them. Fry or bake straight from frozen - just add a few minutes.

  • Storage & revive: Keep leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Refresh in oven/air fryer for crunch retention.
