Ingredients
  

  • 2 large zucchini
  • 1 15 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 1 8 oz can tomato sauce
  • ½ cup feta cheese
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup chopped frozen spinach thawed
  • 2 green onions chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Cut off the stem zucchini and cut lengthwise into ¼” thick even slices using a mandolin or a knife.
  • Lay the slices flat on a kitchen towel and allow to rest to draw out the moisture.
  • To make the filling combine the cheeses, spinach, dill, green onions and salt and pepper in a medium-sized bowl. Stir until all ingredients are incorporated.
  • Layer ¾’s of the diced tomatoes and tomato sauce in the bottom of 9x13 glass pan.
  • Pat the zucchini slices dry with another towel.
  • On a flat surface lay 2 slices of zucchini down vertically and slightly overlap them.
  • Scoop 1-2 tablespoons of spanakopita filling at one end of the zucchini slices.
  • Roll into a tight coil around starting at the end with the filling being cautious not to let the filling spill out of the sides.
  • Place in the baking dish on the bed of tomato sauce.
  • Repeat until all of the zucchini slices have been used up. You will want to pack the rollups tightly together in the pan so that they don't start to unravel.
  • Top with the remaining tomatoes, sauce and dried oregano and bake for 35-45 minutes or until the zucchini has softened and started to brown slightly. Serve immediately.
