About the Recipe

I have used a mandolin to slice the zucchini, you can alternatively use a peeler or just cut as thin as possible with a knife (mandolin will get best results).

I use BC brand pesto which is super healthy, but if you don’t have a pesto on hand you can always blitz up your own, (basil, nuts, lemon, garlic, olive oil, season), before blending the sauce.

Kalamata olives and/or toasted walnuts would also be a great addition! Lovely served with any salad.

Ingredients

Ingredients


  • 2 zucchini, sliced thinly on mandolin

  • 300g firm tofu

  • 1/2 cup your best pesto

  • 1/3 cup nutritional yeast flakes

  • Juice of half lemon

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Almond flour and extra nutritional yeast flakes to crumb

  • Olive oil to drizzle

Preparation

Step 1


In a food processor, blend up your tofu, pesto, lemon, nutritional yeast and season to taste.



Step 2


Add a small dollop on each strip of zucchini then gently roll up - it’s fine to get a bit messy with them!



Step 3


Place them all in a baking dish and sprinkle over some almond flour and yeast flakes and a drizzle of olive oil.



Step 4


Bake in preheated oven of 340 F for 20 minutes until nice and brown.
