Individual meatless lasagnas filled with zucchini and cheese are easier than making a full tray of lasagna and they perfect for portion control.Ā  Similar to these Spinach Lasagna Rolls, only with zucchini instead.

You can make them a day ahead and refrigerate, or if you like to cook for the month, these are also freezer-friendly. Double it up, or bring an extra to a friend in need, they’ll thank you! (BTW, they’re vegetarian also, perfect for Meatless Mondays!)

By now I’m sure you figured out I LOVE zucchini! I just shared a roundup of 35 Skinny Zucchini Recipes, so here’s number 36! I’ve been craving lasagna rolls lately which I love making instead of traditional lasagna, they are so much easier to make and they’re great for portion control. My girlfriend brought me zucchini from her garden so I thought I’d try out this zucchini version instead of my usual spinach filling. These turned out SO good, and now I have yet another way to eat zucchini.

To freeze, you can choose to individually freeze them in ziplock bags or freeze them as a finished dish ready for the oven.Ā  You can also freeze anything you’ve baked that you can’t finish. Click here for more details on how to freeze lasagna rolls.

I served these with sauteed summer julienned vegetables on the side (I used my spiralizer) and it was the perfect meal!
