Zucchini Pesto Rollups

These came from paleomg.com/zucchini-pesto-roll-ups/ I just made a few alterations

*Disclaimer: for this to be 100% Paleo you have to use nitrate free sausage.*

What you need:
2 zucchinis, ends removed, sliced (I used a mandolin)

4 Sausages (we used nitrate free spicy sausage that was precooked)

1 cup Basil

1/3 cup olive oil

1/3 Cup Lemon Juice

1 Clove of Garlic

salt and pepper to taste

pinch of garlic powder

What you do:
- Cut zucchini with mandolin.

- Add garlic and basil to food processor and mix

- Slowly add olive oil

- Add lemon, salt and pepper (than taste and add whatever you want to perfect it)

- If you didn’t buy precooked sausage grill it up and let it cool

- Lightly oil zucchini and season with garlic powder, salt and pepper

- Slice sausage into 1” piece

- Spread pesto onto a slice of zucchini

- Roll sausage  with zucchini and secure with toothpick

- Warm up on the grill to cook the zucchini and heat the sausage.

- ENJOY!

- Peel and cut the ends off of butternut squash, cut in half
