Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Cut the zucchinis in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch thick shells. Reserve the flesh in a bowl.

  3. Place the zucchini shells on a baking dish and drizzle with olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes until slightly tender.

  4. In a skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant.

  5. Add the diced bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, corn, and the reserved zucchini flesh to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  6. Season the vegetable mixture with dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.

  7. Remove the zucchini shells from the oven and fill each shell with the cooked vegetable mixture, pressing gently to pack them in.

  8. Sprinkle the filled zucchinis with Parmesan cheese and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  9. Once done, garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

  10. Serve the zucchinis hot as a main dish or a flavorful side to complement your meal.
