this is such a tasty, healthy, easy appetizer to put together. each roll only has 20 calories. so eat up! you could probably make these with several different types of vegetables, but i like using zucchini. eggplant would be good, yellow squash, even bell peppers. start by slicing the zucchini lengthwise. discarding the outer green part. you want to have about 1/4" slices. spray some olive oil on both sides and sprinkle with salt and pepper. preheat a grill pan to medium high. once hot, add the zucchini slices and cook about 2 minutes per side. you want to slices to be soft. i like to lay the zucchini on a paper towel to absorb some of the juices they let off. in a separate bowl, add 4oz. of goat cheese, about 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley, a squeeze of lemon juice, salt, and pepper. mix together. starting with the smallest or most unattractive side of the zucchini, put 2 spinach leaves and one basil leaf down, add 1 tablespoon of cheese. roll it up. that's it. in no time flat you have a very tasty, good for you snack. what are your go to appetizers? what are you making for the holidays? i have made some many appetizers lately, that i am starting to dream about them. seriously.
