The key to a perfect courgette wrap starts with choosing fresh, high-quality ingredients. Look for firm, vibrant courgettes with smooth skin, ripe avocados, and fresh smoked salmon. Using high-quality Parmesan cheese and olive oil will also enhance the overall flavour of your wrap, making each bite rich and satisfying.
To make the best courgette wraps, thinly slice the courgettes using a mandolin or vegetable peeler for even, uniform circles. Season with a pinch of salt and pat dry to remove excess moisture.
Arrange the slices on a parchment-lined baking tray and brush them with an egg wash for a golden, crispy finish.
Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and bake until the courgette slices are perfectly crispy and lightly browned.
Once the courgette slices are baked and cooled, it’s time to assemble your wraps.
Spread a layer of cream cheese over each slice, followed by fresh salad leaves, avocado slices, and smoked salmon. Drizzle with a mix of olive oil, thyme leaves, and chilli flakes for an added burst of flavour. Fold over the courgette slices to create your wrap, and enjoy!

Salting the courgette slices helps to draw out excess moisture, ensuring they become crispy when baked.
Allowing the courgette rectangles to cool completely before flipping will let the Parmesan set, ensuring everything holds together.
Feel free to customise the fillings to your taste. For example, you could substitute the smoked salmon with grilled chicken, turkey, or a vegetarian option like roasted peppers.
