These zucchini-feta roll-ups are a quick and easy appetizer to pull together, and the recipe is easily doubled (or tripled!) for a larger gathering. You can use summer squash in addition to the zucchini for a pop of yellow color. They are plenty flavorful on their own, but they can also be served with marinara sauce or pesto for dipping.
5-Ingredient Zucchini-Feta Roll-Ups
These zucchini-feta roll-ups are a quick and easy appetizer to pull together, and the recipe is easily doubled (or tripled!) for a larger gathering.

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1 5- ounce block feta cheese cut into 16 cubes (1-1½-inch)
- Cooking spray
- 1 medium zucchini (6 ounces)
Instructions
- Stir oil, lemon zest, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and crushed red pepper together in a medium bowl. Add feta cubes; gently toss to coat.
- Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and coat with cooking spray. Using a mandoline or vegetable peeler, cut zucchini lengthwise into 16 strips. Working on a clean cutting board, place 1 feta cube at 1 end of a zucchini slice. Roll tightly and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining feta and zucchini strips. Lightly coat the tops of the zucchini rolls with cooking spray.
- Position oven rack 4 inches from broiler. Preheat to High.
- Broil the zucchini rolls, rotating the pan once, until browned and bubbling, 3 to 6 minutes.
