Notes
- Choose fresh, crisp vegetables for maximum flavor and nutrition, ensuring they’re finely chopped for even cooking and easy rolling.
- Allow vegetable mixture to cool completely before adding cheese to prevent melting and maintain structural integrity of the rolls.
- Consider using low-fat cheese or dairy-free alternatives for healthier or vegan adaptations, which won’t compromise the delicious taste.
- Experiment with different herb combinations like thyme, basil, or parsley to customize the rolls’ flavor profile and surprise your taste buds.
