The best vegan zucchini rollatini recipe featuring tender zucchini rolls filled with vegan ricotta and spinach, baked in marinara sauce for a delicious healthy plant-based meal.
4–5 zucchinis, sliced lengthwise
Olive oil, for drizzling
1 cup (240g) fresh vegan ricotta
1 lb (500g) fresh spinach, chopped and cooked
Basil leaves, chopped (to taste)
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
Pinch of salt, to taste
1 cup (240ml) marinara sauce
Vegan mozzarella cheese, for topping
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and chop spinach, then cook in a skillet over medium heat until wilted (3–5 minutes).
Let spinach cool, then squeeze out excess water.
Slice zucchinis lengthwise and trim ends so slices lay flat.
Arrange zucchini slices on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and lightly salt.
Bake for 15–20 minutes until softened. Let cool slightly on paper towels.
In a bowl, mix vegan ricotta, cooked spinach, basil, Italian seasoning, and salt.
Spread marinara sauce on the bottom of an 8×8 baking dish.
Spread filling over each zucchini slice and roll them up tightly.
Place rolls seam-side down in the baking dish.
Top with extra marinara sauce and sprinkle vegan mozzarella on top.
Bake for 20 minutes, until hot and cheese is melted.
Let cool a few minutes before serving.
Make sure to squeeze spinach well to avoid watery filling.
Don’t overbake zucchini in the first step or it may tear when rolling.
You can add garlic or nutritional yeast for extra flavor.
Works well as a make-ahead meal and reheats nicely.
