Recipe
Makes 2-3 Servings
Ingredients:
340 g - Vegan Ricotta
3 Medium - Zucchini
250 g - Marinara Sauce
20 g - Panko Bread Crumbs - Optional, omit for gf
Salt and Pepper - To taste
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 420F. Line 2 (or more if needed) baking sheets with paper towels.
Cut the zucchinis in half. Using a mandoline slicer or vegetable peeler, slice the zucchinis lengthwise to get long, thin strips. Place the strips on paper towels and place another layer of paper towels on top. Allow to sit for 10 minutes.
Spread marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
On a flat surface, place 3-4 slices of zucchini vertically and 3-4 slices of zucchini horizontally to form an “x”. Place a dollop of vegan ricotta in the center. Bring the edges together to cover the ricotta. Repeat with all zucchini and ricotta.
Place the “raviolis” seam side down in the marinara sauce. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until bread crumbs are browned.
Serve with a sprinkle of vegan parmesan.
Store in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, either bake for 20 minutes or until warmed through or microwave for 2 minutes.
