Equipment
- 1 foil lined baking pan
Ingredients
- 3 large zucchinis
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1/4 cup pine nuts
- 1/2 cups crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). While the oven gets ready, prepare your zucchinis.
- Cut the stems off the zucchinis, then slice each zucchini in half lengthwise, creating your zucchini boats. Using a spoon, gently scrape out the insides of each half, placing the removed flesh into a large mixing bowl.
- To this bowl, add half of your grated parmesan cheese, diced onion, pine nuts, crumbled feta cheese, minced or pressed garlic, dried basil, dried oregano, and salt. Mix this flavorful combination well until all the ingredients are beautifully incorporated.
- Now, it's time to prepare your zucchini boats. Line a baking sheet with foil and place your halved zucchinis on it. Spoon the mixture from your bowl into each zucchini boat, generously filling them to the brim with the flavorful stuffing.
- For the finishing touch, sprinkle the remaining parmesan cheese on top of your zucchini boats, and add a pinch of freshly ground pepper for that perfect seasoning.
- Place your zucchini boats in the preheated oven and let them bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops form a golden brown crust.
- Serve as is or with some Tzatziki dip!
