Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the zucchini

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop out the seeds and flesh, leaving a 1/4-inch thick shell. Place the zucchini halves on a baking sheet, cut-side up.

2
Bake the zucchini

Brush the zucchini halves with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender but still firm.

3
Prepare the vegetables

While the zucchini is baking, dice the red and yellow bell peppers, onion, and tomatoes. Mince the garlic cloves.

4
Sauté the vegetables

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.

5
Add tomatoes and seasonings

Add the diced tomatoes, dried basil, dried oregano, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

6
Stuff the zucchini

Spoon the vegetable mixture into the baked zucchini halves, dividing it evenly among the boats.

7
Add Parmesan cheese and bake

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the stuffed zucchini. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.

8
Serve hot

Serve the veggie stuffed zucchini hot as a main course or side dish.
