Zucchini rolls with minced meat in the oven can be prepared using different varieties of zucchini. The main condition is that they must be young and not contain seeds. These zucchini rolls are especially good, the flesh of which is juicier than other varieties. Wash the zucchini. There is no need to peel them. The green border will look quite beautiful against the background of the orange sauce.
Trim the ends off both sides of the squash. Zucchini should be cut into thin slices. The most convenient way to do this is with a vegetable peeler. If it is not there, prepare a sharp and thin knife. When cutting zucchini, you will definitely end up with substandard quality. Such pieces can be grated and added to the minced meat.
Lightly sprinkle the zucchini slices with salt. The salt will make them juicier and softer, making them easier to roll. Leave the zucchini for 10 minutes. In the meantime, you can start preparing the filling for the rolls. To fill the rolls, you can use either ready-made minced chicken or chicken breast chopped in a blender.
Place the finished minced chicken into a bowl. Add a small onion grated on a fine grater or chopped in a blender. Onion puree is better distributed in the minced meat than even finely chopped pieces.
Salt the minced meat, add ground black pepper, Provençal herbs and turmeric.
Mix all components of the meat filling thoroughly.
Apply minced chicken onto the zucchini strip.
Roll up the zucchini.
Place the zucchini rolls with minced meat in the mold in rows, next to each other.

Zucchini rolls - useful tips from experienced chefs
- Buy zucchini of medium length, no more than 15-20 cm. The weight of a good zucchini does not exceed 250-350 g. If the fruit is too large, it means that it is overripe and should not be consumed. In addition, old zucchini contains many large seeds, which are usually removed. They also have a hard skin that is cut off.
- The skin of a good fruit should be smooth and quite thin to the touch. They should not have dents, depressions, or irregularities. Another quality criterion is the even color of the zucchini, which ranges from yellowish-green to green-brown. The presence of dark yellow and brown spots indicates that the vegetable inside has begun to rot.
- Store the purchased zucchini at a temperature of 0 to +5°C and a humidity of 85%. Then the young fruits will remain fresh for 2 weeks. To extend the shelf life, zucchini does not need to be washed. Although they can be stored longer, all the beneficial substances will not be preserved.
- To prepare zucchini rolls, the vegetable is most often cut into slices. They should be thin so that they can be rolled easily. If the zucchini is cut into thick sheets, the roll may unravel when rolled. Then you will have to fix it with a toothpick.
- Zucchini slices are subjected to different heat treatments: fried in a dry frying pan with a non-stick coating, baked in the oven on a baking sheet with greased oil, or simply poured boiling water for 3-5 minutes to make the slices softer. And if they are very thin, then you can roll them like that.
