Stuffed Zucchini (Thank you Shawen from Urbana)
Light Meals
Points Value: 2
Servings: 3
Preparation Time: 15 min
Cooking Time: 30 – 45 min (dependent on size of zucchini)
Level of Difficulty: Easy
Course: Light Meals
Feel free to add other spices, chopped veggies, or another type of low fat cheese. You can also wrap in foil and bake on the grill. ENJOY!
Ingredients
3 Large zucchini, Whole, Sliced lengthwise
½ cu onion, finely chopped
½ cu sweet red pepper, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, fresh, minced
2 tsp olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano (or All Purpose Seasoning – which I prefer)
½ tsp table salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 oz reduced fat grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
Slice zucchini lengthwise and scoop out middle of zucchini (pulp). Finely chop pulp or run through a food processor. Set chopped zucchini aside in a small bowl. Sautee onions, garlic and red pepper in olive oil until soft. Mix in oregano/all purpose seasoning, salt and pepper. Add sautéed mixture to pulp and fill each zucchini half. Top with parmesan cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 - 45 minutes. Eat as a meal or side dish.
*Note: I used a ~ ¼ cup more of grated zucchini I had left over and added to the mixture to insure the zucchini was stuffed well. This shouldn’t add any more points
