INGREDIENT NOTES:
ZUCCHINI:

ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR:
- Your zucchini rolls will form a shape when using all-purpose flour. It will help in avoiding breaking of them as well.
WATER AND FLAXSEED:
- We will make a flax egg to use in this recipe. This flax egg will help combine all the ingredients to keep the shape of your zucchini rolls. Use chia seed mix for another option in your recipe.
UNSWEETENED VEGAN MILK:
- The batter for your rolls will become smoother if you add vegan milk to it. Be sure that you are using unsweetened milk for this recipe. Any unsweetened vegan milk, like oat or almond, can work.
VEGAN CHEESE:
- Vegan cheese is also the main ingredient for your recipe. You will use it to add a cheesy taste to your zucchini rolls. Cashew cheese is another option for you to try.
NUTRITIONAL YEAST:
- This is a nutritious ingredient to add to your dish. It will also improve the cheese flavor in your rolls.
BAKING POWDER:
- Fluffiness will come in your rolls when using baking powder. Baking powder will also make this dish lighter.
