  • ½ cup French beans, diced

  • 1 cup spinach, diced

  • ½ cup Millie’s Vegan Cheese – Burnt Red Chilli & Garlic

  • ¼ cup fresh basil, chopped

  • 1 tbsp chilli flakes

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

  • 1 tbsp minced garlic

  • 1½ cups marinara sauce

For the Marinara Sauce

  • 5 tomatoes, boiled and roughly chopped

  • 1 onion, diced

  • 6 cloves garlic, diced

  • 2 green chillies, diced

  • 1 cup fresh basil, sliced

  • 1 tsp chilli flakes

  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • 1 tsp olive oil

  • Salt, to taste

Method

Make the Marinara

Heat olive oil in a pan. Add onion, garlic, tomatoes, green chillies, chilli flakes and oregano. Simmer for about 20 minutes until the tomatoes break down.

Let it cool slightly, blend roughly, then return to the pan. Add fresh basil and adjust the seasoning.

Make the Roll-Ups

  1. Lay the zucchini slices on a kitchen towel, sprinkle lightly with salt and let them sit for 15 minutes.

  2. Steam the carrot, French beans and spinach together.

  3. In a bowl, combine the vegetables with Millie’s Vegan Cheese, garlic, basil, chilli flakes, Italian seasoning and salt.

  4. Preheat the oven to 220°C.

  5. Spread the marinara sauce across a baking dish.

  6. Place about 1 tbsp of the filling on each zucchini slice, then roll it up.

  7. Arrange the rolls snugly in the baking dish. Top with the remaining marinara sauce.

  8. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the roll-ups are heated through.

Serve & Enjoy

Serve these warm, straight out of the oven, with an extra spoonful of Millie’s Burnt Red Chilli and Garlic Cheese on top if you like.

Creamy, colourful, comforting — and proof that vegetables can be the main event.
