Delicate zucchini ribbons wrapped around ham and melting cheese, coated in golden breadcrumbs and air fried in just ten minutes. These crispy little rolls make a lovely warm snack or appetizer, and they are a clever way to get more vegetables onto the table.

What you'll need.

  • 1 zucchini
  • Sliced ham
  • Cheese, cut into cubes
  • 1 egg
  • Flour
  • Breadcrumbs

How to make it.

  1. Slice the zucchini into long thin ribbons with a peeler.
  2. Wrap each cube of cheese first in a piece of ham, then in a zucchini ribbon.
  3. Dip each roll in flour, then beaten egg, then breadcrumbs.
  4. Air fry for 10 minutes at 180°C (350°F) until crisp and golden. Serve warm while the cheese is melty.

My tips.

Choose a cheese that melts well but holds its shape, like gouda or mozzarella, and seal the rolls snugly so it stays inside. A toothpick helps keep everything together during coating.

Good to know.

Can I prepare them ahead?
Yes, assemble and coat the rolls a few hours in advance, then air fry just before serving.

Can I make them vegetarian?
Skip the ham and add a strip of roasted pepper or simply more cheese.

What dip goes well?
Sour cream with garlic and dill, or a mild tomato sauce.
