the vegetarian answer to the Bacon Explosion
First there was the Bacon and Cheese Roll. Then the Bacon Explosion swept the nation, and even the New York Times wrote about it.
Now there’s the Vegetable Explosion. Unlike the approximately-50-bazillion-calorie Bacon Explosion, this actually looks good for you, if not quite as picturesque as either of the other two. It sounds pretty tasty as well, but I think I would want the outside to be more browned and maybe a little bit crispy. Brushing with a bit of melted butter might take care of that.
If Stephanie and Ny have another bacon party, I’m going to bring one of these.

Please do! This looks seriously yummy, though I have my doubts about the structural integrity of cooked Zucchini.

Thanks for your sweet write-up! I agree about the browning - if we made another I think we’d definitely brush it with some egg or butter.
Regarding the zucchini, Ny Martin, yes it’s a bit precarious when you’re rolling it. But after it cooks it holds up surprisingly well.
