Why this works

Halve two zucchini, scoop out a little of the middle, and fill them with a quick mix of egg, feta, cherry tomatoes and parsley. A layer of mozzarella goes on top, and the oven does the rest. The zucchini turns tender, the filling sets, and the cheese bubbles into a golden crust.

Nothing is wasted: the zucchini you scoop out goes straight into the filling.

Method

01
Heat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
02
Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out some of the flesh with a spoon, leaving a sturdy shell.
03
Chop 2 tbsp of the scooped flesh and mix it in a bowl with the egg, crumbled feta, chopped cherry tomatoes, parsley, salt, pepper and chili flakes.
04
Spoon the mixture into the zucchini halves and set them in a baking dish.
05
Sprinkle the mozzarella over the top.
06
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is golden.

Good to know

Leave a thick wall when you scoop. Thin shells collapse in the oven.

Feta is already salty, so go easy on the salt in the filling.

Check with a knife: the zucchini is done when the tip slides in easily.

Make it heartier: add cooked ground beef, sausage or shredded chicken to the filling.

Storage: keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven so the cheese crisps up again.

Questions

Before you start

Are stuffed zucchini boats keto?

Yes. Zucchini, egg, feta and mozzarella are all low carb. The cherry tomatoes add a few carbs, so four is plenty.

What can I do with the rest of the scooped zucchini?

Stir it into an omelet, a frittata or a soup the next day. Only 2 tbsp go into the filling.

Can I make them without feta?

Yes. Ricotta or cottage cheese give a milder, creamier filling.
