Description
Crispy golden rolls made from grated sweet potato and zucchini, filled with a savory mix of spinach, feta, and sun-dried tomatoes. Perfect as a vegetarian main or a stunning side dish.
Ingredients
- 2 cups grated sweet potato (about 1 large)
- 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium), squeezed dry
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, for frying
- For the filling:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 5 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in feta, sun-dried tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Make the rosti mixture: In a large bowl, combine grated sweet potato, zucchini, salt, eggs, flour, Parmesan, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Assemble the rolls: Lay a large piece of plastic wrap on a flat surface. Spread half of the rosti mixture into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread half of the filling over the mixture, leaving a 1-inch border. Using the plastic wrap, roll up the mixture tightly like a jelly roll. Repeat with remaining mixture and filling. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up.
- Cook the rolls: Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Carefully transfer the rolls to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. You may need to cook in batches.
- Serve: Cut the rolls into slices and serve hot.
Notes
You can customize the seasonings to taste. For a vegan version, omit the feta and use a dairy-free alternative. These rolls can also be baked at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, for a lower-fat option.
