INGREDIENTS:
1 medium zucchini (thinly slice lengthwise- if you don’t have a mandolin, use a peeler)
1/2 cup of seasoned cooked ground beef (I used taco seasoning)
1/2 cup of pasta sauce (divided) *I use marinara
1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup of cottage cheese (I use non fat)
Salt & pepper to taste
STEPS:
Preheat your air fryer: 350F, 12 minutes.
Mix your meat with half of your pasta sauce and save the rest for later.
Add the mozzarella and cottage cheese to your meat mixture. Season with salt & pepper.
Lay two zucchini slices side by side slightly overlapping and place a large spoonful of filling on one end. Roll the zucchini with the filling.
Place the rolls in lined air fryer baskets.
Air-fry at 350F for 12 minutes.
Add the rest of pasta sauce to a plate and lay the rolls on top of the sauce.
Bon appétit!
