Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011Easy Zucchini Wraps
These Zucchini Wraps are simple, delicious and great for entertaining!
You’ll need:
- 2 medium sized zucchini
- 2 cups fresh Basil
- 1/2 c pistachios
- 1 Tbs Olive oil
- 1tsp sea salt (or to taste)
- pinch of freshly ground black pepper
- sun dried tomatoes – either packed in olive oil or re-hydrated in water
Slice the zucchini into long strips using a mandolin or a vegetable peeler. Place on a drying rack and let sit for 20-30 mins to absorb excess moisture. You could even put them directly on an oven rack on low heat.
In a food processor, combine basil, pistachios, olive oil, salt & pepper until smooth.
Once zucchini strips are soft and of a dryer consistency, place a spoon full of pesto and a sundried tomato on one end of the zucchini strip. Simply roll and secure with a toothpick. Voila! Done!
Simple, healthy, and delicious!

Hi there – This caught my eye to such an extent that I couldnt help reporting on my blog, I hope that you dont mind, I linked it back. Perhaps I’ll post how mine go this weekend!
I think I just read through your entire blog too, I’m feeling inspired!

Rose,
I’m so glad you like it!
Hello!
Thank you so much for this. Love the site and your story. I have been feeling blue for quite some time but reading your story gave a hope. Your positive attitude is what great support.
Thank you once more and all the best.
Suzanna, so glad you like the blog! I am so grateful to have the opportunity to share my knowledge and experiences to help others! Love and light to you!!
For the pistachios, do you soak them or anything like that prior to using them? And do you get them unsalted and already “peeled?” (This looks amazing, by the way!)
Hi Meri,
I didn’t soak these in the interest of time. You can soak them if you like. I would use unsalted. It doesn’t matter whether they are already peeled, it; just come down to what is easiest for you
These are so cute! You got me with the picture because at first I thought it was bacon and not sun dried tomatoes…. I might just pretend I didn’t read the ingredients.
Love ya!
Ha! Chelsea, are you gonna be “makin’ bacon”?!
My office decided to have a office meeting/gluttony fest. With everyone else brings fats and meats and 4 other people (besides my pescatarian self) in our office on diabetic diets and ulcer diets finding something we can all eat and enjoy was becoming a nightmare! These are perfect! I’m not a big sun dried tomatoes fan but so I think I will try a spinach leaf instead but thank you so much for putting this out there.
of course!! I hope you enjoy them!! xo
I want to make this but I am not a sundried tomato fan… what would you suggest as a alternative. Red peppers? piquant peppers? Thanks so much I really enjoy reading all your recipes and tips.
Hi Julianna, either of those would work. Even black olives would be lovely!!
