Hello lovelies, these zucchini roses made from puff pastry are my favorite little eye-catcher for summer. Most people know apple roses – here comes the savory version with fine zucchini strips, vegan herb cream cheese and basil.
They are surprisingly simple: cut puff pastry into strips, spread with cream cheese, lay very thin zucchini strips on top, roll up and bake golden in a muffin tin. As they rise, the pretty rose blossoms form all by themselves.
Whether as an apéro bite, for a summer picnic or as a pretty side with a soup – the zucchini roses always look impressive and are still ready to go in just a few minutes.
These roses are part of a little summer update from my raised-bed garden – together with the matching zucchini kohlrabi soup you will find them in 2 zucchini recipes and an update from the garden.
If you love little bites for summer, take a look at my picnic in the garden with 3 delicious spreads too, and to see how our raised-bed garden came about, visit my city farming paradise.
Love, Verena
