This healthy appetizer recipe combines the smoky char of grilled zucchini with the creamy tang of goat cheese, creating a holiday treat that’s as delightful to eat as it is elegant to serve. A surefire hit with your guests!

Serving size: Makes about 8-10 roll-ups

Ingredients:

• 3 small zucchinis
• About 2 Tbsp olive oil
• Kosher salt
• 3 oz goat cheese, at room temperature
• 1 Tbsp finely chopped oil-packed, sun-dried tomatoes, well-drained
• Heaping 1/2 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 Tbsp freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano

Instructions:

1. Trim off both ends of the zucchini, and heat a grill to high. Trim just a little off the two long sides to even their shape; discard the trimmings.

2. Cut the remaining zucchini into lengthwise strips, each about 1/4 inch thick. Brush both sides of the strips with light coating of olive oil and season with a touch of salt. Place the slices on the hot grill at a 45° angle to the grates and grill, covered, until well-browned and limp, 3-4 minutes per side.

3. Check the zucchini as they cook and gently move the slices around with tongs for even browning; be careful not to overcook. When done, drape them over a cooling rack to keep them from steaming as they cool.

4. In a bowl, combine the goat cheese with the sun-dried tomatoes, thyme, 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and a 1/8 teaspoon of salt. Spread one heaping teaspoon of the filling over one side of each zucchini strip (use a mini spatula or your fingers to spread). Roll up the zucchini, but not too tightly. Put the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment or foil.

5. Heat the broiler. Sprinkle with a little of the grated Parmigiano and brown under the broiler, for about one minute.
