Method

Preheat the Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s ready to bake while you prepare the zucchini.

Slice the Zucchini

Using a mandolin slicer, carefully cut the zucchini into thin, even slices. The key here is consistency thin slices will cook evenly and create a flexible wrap. Take your time during this step, and always watch your fingers when working with a mandolin.

Arrange the Zucchini Base

On a parchment-lined baking sheet, arrange the zucchini slices into a large rectangle, about five slices across and four slices down. Make sure the slices overlap slightly so there are no gaps this overlap will help the wrap hold together once it’s baked.

Season and Add Cheese

Lightly drizzle the zucchini with olive oil, then sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the top for flavor. Evenly spread shredded mozzarella across the zucchini rectangle, making sure it covers most of the surface for that cheesy, golden finish.

Bake Until Golden

Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbling, and turning a light golden brown. The cheese will help bind the zucchini slices together into a sturdy, flexible wrap.

Cool the Wraps

Remove the wraps from the oven and let them cool for several minutes. This cooling period is important it allows the cheese to set, making the wraps easier to handle without tearing.

Fill and Roll

Once cooled slightly, carefully lift the wrap from the parchment paper. Place your chosen fillings such as turkey, pesto, arugula, tomatoes, or any combination you like along the center of the wrap. Gently fold or roll the zucchini wrap around the fillings, securing the edges if needed, and enjoy immediately.
