Chef's Tips
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.
Preheat Oven and Prepare Courgettes
Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan/Gas Mark 4). Peel and slice the courgette into very thin rounds.
Form and Season Courgette Bases
Arrange the courgette slices in a slightly overlapping single layer on a baking tray lined with baking paper, forming a rectangular shape. Repeat this process twice more to create three bases in total. Drizzle all courgette slices with extra virgin olive oil, then season with salt and black pepper.
Bake the Courgette Bases
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.
Cool the Bases
Once baked, carefully remove the courgette bases from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking tray to ensure they firm up for handling.
Prepare Filling Components
While the courgette bases are cooling, slice the avocado. In a small bowl, mix the cottage cheese with finely chopped chives to create a simple sauce.
Assemble the First Wrap
Carefully peel the cooled courgette bases from the baking paper and lay them flat on a clean surface. Arrange the rocket leaves over one half of the courgette bases, followed by the sliced avocado and smoked salmon.
Add Sauce and Fold
Drizzle the cottage cheese and chive sauce over the layered ingredients. Gently fold the other half of the courgette bases over the filling to create wraps. Serve immediately.
