Baked Stuffed Zucchini
Report
You'll love my Baked Stuffed Zucchini recipe with its mix of onion, tomato, breadcrumbs, and Parmesan cheese baked in tender fresh zucchini.

Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil plus more for drizzling
- 2 green onions chopped
- 2 roma tomatoes
- salt and black pepper
- ½ cup bread crumbs
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese plus more for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350. Prepare a small baking dish with oil, butter, or cooking spray.
- Wash the zucchini well and cut it in half lengthwise. Microwave for 2-3 minutes. (This softens it slightly and makes it easier to remove the interior.)
- Remove from the microwave and cool briefly.
- Score ¼” in from the edge with a sharp knife. Using a spoon, scoop out the zucchini flesh with a spoon. Reserve the removed zucchini and zucchini shells for later.
- Melt butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the green onions and cook for 2-3 minutes or until slightly softened.
- To the skillet with the sauteed onions, add the reserved zucchini, diced tomato, salt, pepper, bread crumbs, and Parmesan cheese. Stir well to combine. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Fill the reserved zucchini shells with the mixture. Place in the prepared baking pan and sprinkle more parmesan cheese on top. Drizzle with additional olive oil.
- Bake at 350 for approximately 20 minutes or until tender.
Notes
- The zucchini is done when it feels tender when pierced with a sharp knife, the stuffing is heated through, and the top is beautifully browned.
- Store any leftovers in a tightly closed container in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
