Ingredient Notes

• 1 cup rolled oats – look for gluten-free oats if needed.
• 2 tablespoons yogurt – Greek yogurt works well; it adds creaminess and tang.
• 1 pound grated zucchini – can substitute with carrots for a sweeter flavor.
• 1/2 cup chopped cilantro – fresh herbs bring vibrancy; swap with parsley if needed.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat; add a splash of oil.
  2. Take a small portion of the mixture and shape it into a roll; place it in the skillet, cooking each side until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Repeat until all the mixture is used; serve warm with your choice of chutney or yogurt dip.

Things I’ve Learned

To avoid excess moisture, make sure to squeeze out the water from the zucchini before mixing. If leftovers remain, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a non-stick skillet for a few minutes to regain crispiness. You can also freeze these rolls individually for up to a month; just reheat directly from the freezer.
