Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 medium-sized zucchinis

  • ¾ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • ½ packed cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and dry the zucchinis, slice them in half lengthwise, and scoop out the flesh.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil, sauté spring onions and garlic for about 2–3 minutes. Add chopped zucchini flesh, oregano, salt, and pepper; cook for another 5 minutes until moisture evaporates.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and mix in ricotta, parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes, breadcrumbs, and lemon zest until well combined.
  4. Fill each zucchini half with the stuffing. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet; bake for about 20 minutes or air-fry at 350°F (180°C) for approximately 12–15 minutes until golden.
