Grilled Zucchini Roll-Ups

A quick and easy veggie appetizer, perfect for summer entertaining.

Be sure not to overcook the zucchini, or it will get too watery.

Serves: 9 Save

Ingredients (7)

  • 3 ounce chive and onion cream cheese
  • 3 zucchini (about 1/2 pound each), sliced lengthwise into 1/4 inch slices (discard the 2 end slices)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
