Notes

  1. Make sure you squeeze as much liquid as possible from the grated zucchini, otherwise the roll can bake unevenly and crack when rolling.
  2. Bake the vegetable base until it is set and lightly golden at the edges, then let it cool completely before adding the cream cheese so it does not melt and slide.
  3. For a more intense flavor, use a stronger cheese such as cheddar or gouda and add a pinch of garlic powder to the vegetable mixture.
  4. If you want thinner slices for party platters, chill the roll in the fridge for at least 1 hour; a cold roll is much easier to cut neatly.
  5. You can prepare the roll a few hours in advance, keep it wrapped in cling film in the fridge and slice it just before serving so it stays fresh and moist.
