These zucchini cheese rolls with an Italian look are low carb and quickly prepared for the end of the day. Feta cheese is the heart of the dish and provides the minerals calcium and phosphorus; this combination is particularly beneficial for bone and dental health. The polyunsaturated fatty acids from olive oil have a positive influence on the heart and blood vessels.

The zucchini cheese rolls taste even better if they are grilled before serving, so that the zucchini takes on fine roasting aromas and the cheese is warm on the plate.
