Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan/Gas Mark 4). Peel and slice the courgette into thin rounds. Arrange the courgette slices in a single layer on a baking tray lined with baking paper, forming a rectangular shape.
Drizzle the courgette slices with extra virgin olive oil, then season with salt and black pepper. Sprinkle the grated mozzarella evenly over the courgettes. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the courgettes are tender and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Once baked, remove the courgette base from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking tray. This step is crucial as it allows the courgette base to firm up and become easier to handle.
While the courgette base cools, prepare your filling. Slice the avocado. In a small bowl, mix the cottage cheese with chopped chives to create a simple sauce.
Carefully peel the cooled courgette base from the baking paper. Lay it flat on a clean surface. Arrange the rocket leaves over one half of the courgette base, followed by the sliced avocado and smoked salmon. Drizzle with the cottage cheese and chive sauce.
Gently fold the other half of the courgette base over the filling to create a wrap. Repeat for any remaining courgette bases. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious and healthy courgette wraps!
For an extra flavour boost, try adding a pinch of garlic powder or dried oregano to the courgette slices before baking.
If you don't have smoked salmon, cooked chicken breast or falafel make excellent protein alternatives for the filling.
Ensure the courgette slices are as thin as possible for a crispier base that holds together well.
