Tips and Tricks
It is highly recommended to slice the zucchini with the help of a mandoline. This way, you will get slices all the same, ensuring even cooking. When assembling the roll with puff pastry, always use plastic wrap or parchment paper; it will make it easier to create a well-compacted and homogeneous roll. The order of the ingredients when assembling the roll is not important; you can easily create layers to your liking. Zucchini can be replaced with other vegetables such as eggplant. The choice of cheese is personal; the important thing is not to use very hard cheeses that would make it difficult to assemble the roll. Puff pastry can be easily found at the supermarket or, if you are more experienced, nothing beats homemade pastry.
