Ingredients

  • 2 zucchini squash, about 9 ounces each
  • ½ cup garlic & herb spreadable cheese (see note)
  • ¼ cup finely diced red bell pepper
  • ¼ cup panko bread crumbs
  • olive oil or olive oil spray

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • If desired, trim the ends off zucchini. Slice the zucchini lengthwise so that you have four long halves. Using a spoon, hollow out the middle (take out the seeds) of each half, leaving a little bit on each end to prevent the filling from running out. Place the zucchini halves on the prepared baking sheet.

  • In a small bowl, mix together spreadable cheese and diced red pepper. Spread the cheese mixture into each hollowed out zucchini half.
    ½ cup garlic & herb spreadable cheese, ¼ cup finely diced red bell pepper
  • Cover the surface of each zucchini with breadcrumbs, and spritz with olive oil. (If you don't have a spritzer, just drizzle as lightly as possible, or spray lightly with nonstick spray.)
    ¼ cup panko bread crumbs, olive oil or olive oil spray
  • Bake for 55 minutes or until zucchini is fork tender and breadcrumbs are golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before serving. If you're serving the stuffed zucchini as appetizers, use a sharp knife to cut them into bite-sized pieces.
