Steps:
1. Start by washing the zucchini and cutting it into thin slices lengthwise to create long “wraps.” Aim for slices about 1/8 inch thick.
2. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the zucchini slices to the skillet and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until slightly tender. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. In a bowl, whisk the egg whites with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
4. Pour the egg white mixture into the same skillet used for the zucchini. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring gently until the egg whites are fully cooked and fluffy.
5. To assemble, place a few zucchini slices on a plate, followed by a generous serving of cooked egg whites. Optionally, sprinkle with fresh herbs for added flavor.
6. Roll the zucchini slices over the egg whites to create wraps. Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy breakfast!
