Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees (180 degrees celsius)
- Trim the zucchini then slice the zucchini in half lengthwise, with a spoon scoop out the pulp. Cut the pulp (without seeds is best) and set aside.
- In a medium bowl add pulp, tuna, bread crumbs, cheese, egg (slightly beaten), parmesan cheese, 3 tablespoons olive oil and salt and pepper mix together.
- Drizzle a tablespoon olive oil on the bottom of a baking dish, place the zucchini slices in the pan, drizzle them with a tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with 1-2 pinches of salt, then fill the zucchini with the filling, drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil and bake for approximately 30 minutes. Serve immediately sprinkled with fresh chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- Any leftovers should be stored in an airtight container and stored in the fridge. They will keep for up to 2-3 days. Re heat in a low oven or microwave until heated through.
- I don’t recommend freezing them, because the zucchini will become too soggy and mushy when thawed.
