Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Using a vegetable peeler or mandoline, slice the zucchini lengthwise into long, thin ribbons.
Lay 3 to 4 zucchini ribbons slightly overlapping each other, then roll them tightly to form a rose. Repeat with the remaining zucchini.
Place the zucchini roses into a lightly greased muffin tin or small baking dish so they hold their shape.
Spoon a small amount of cottage cheese into the center of each rose.
Sprinkle with the garlic, oregano, black pepper and Grana Padano.
Drizzle lightly with olive oil.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is golden and crispy.
Finish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon before serving.

My meal habit

I enjoy these Crispy Zucchini Roses as my vegetable starter before the main meal.

Starting with vegetables is one of the simplest habits I follow before enjoying my protein-rich main course.

I lost 24kg without giving up the foods I love. I learned to change the way I ate instead of constantly trying to eat less or follow another restrictive plan.
