Instructions

Slice zucchinis lengthwise into thin strips using a mandolin or sharp knife.
Brush zucchini slices with olive oil and grill on a grill pan or outdoor grill for 2-3 minutes per side, until tender and grill-marked.
In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until creamy.
Lay a grilled zucchini strip flat, spread with a spoonful of ricotta mixture, place a sun-dried tomato half and a basil leaf at one end, and roll up.
Secure with a toothpick if needed and repeat with remaining ingredients.
Arrange on a serving platter and drizzle lightly with extra olive oil if desired.
Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.

Notes

Choose firm zucchinis for easier slicing and rolling.
These roll-ups can be made ahead and chilled for up to 4 hours before serving.
Add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes for a slight kick
