veggie stuffed zucchini

 

These were really yummy!  I wished for leftovers.

Note to self:  Omit the peppers next time for the picky kid in the family.

veggie stuffed zucchini

3 zucchini, cut lengthwise in half and insides scooped out (dice the insides)

1/2 cup onion, diced

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 cup mushrooms, diced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil (I used 1 tablespoon fresh)

2 tablespoons chopped parsley, fresh

1/4-1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

handful of mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Prepare a 9x13 casserole pan with cooking spray or line with foil.

In a large skillet heat a tablespoon of oil or water.  Add onion, garlic, pepper, mushrooms and cut up zucchini "insides".  Turn off the heat.  Add seasonings and Parmesan cheese.

Take zucchini that has been prepared to be stuffed and place them in the 9x13 pan.  Stuff each zucchini half with the stuffing.

Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.  Bake for 35-40 minutes until cheese starts to bubble.
