Grilling Zucchini Strips

Zucchini and Goat Cheese Wraps

So if you read the blog often you’ve probably figured out that I have just about every kitchen gadget known to man.  However, I never had a mandoline slicer, until now! To break it in I wanted to try a bunch of different Zucchini recipes.  The first idea I had was to make thin slices of Zucchini and form them into wraps.  The result was awesome!

For each slice, I took 1/6th of the mixture and formed a roll in my hands. Basically I rolled a ball until it became long enough to fill most of the slice.  I originally tried to just spread the goat cheese but this resulted in broken up Zucchini slices …Prepped goat cheese wrap
