Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchini
• 1 container Hidden Springs Driftless Garlic & Herb
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Optional Garnishes

• Fresh basil, chopped
• Chopped parsley
• Lemon zest
• Crushed red pepper flakes
• Balsamic glaze

Instructions

Prepare the Zucchini

Using a vegetable peeler or mandoline, slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips, about ¼-inch thick.

Brush both sides lightly with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

Grill

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Grill each zucchini strip for 1 to 2 minutes per side, just until tender with light grill marks. Remove from the grill and allow them to cool slightly.

Assemble

Spread a thin layer of Driftless Garlic & Herb over one end of each zucchini strip.

Carefully roll each strip into a spiral and secure with a decorative toothpick if desired.

Arrange on a serving platter.

Finish

Garnish with fresh herbs, lemon zest, a sprinkle of crushed red pepper, or a light drizzle of balsamic glaze before serving.
