Ingredients

  • 6 fresh zucchinis
  • Chopped 1/4 of a medium onion
  • Finely diced green olives, a hint of saltiness
  • Crumbled feta cheese, adding a creamy touch
  • Chopped garlic cloves, releasing their aroma
  • Handful of pine nuts for a crunchy bite
  • Divided into two, grated Asiago cheese, enriching the flavor
  • Dried basil and oregano, for a burst of herbal essence

Step 1

Position the oven rack at a distance of roughly 6 inches from the heat source and start preheating the broiler.

Step 2

Begin by trimming the ends off the zucchini and then slicing each squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the insides of the zucchini and transfer them to a mixing bowl. To this bowl, add finely diced onions, sliced olives, crumbled feta cheese, minced garlic, pine nuts, half of the Asiago cheese, fresh basil, and fragrant oregano. Give everything a thorough mix to combine the flavors.

Step 3

Now, carefully spoon the flavorful mixture back into the zucchini shells, ensuring they are generously filled. Sprinkle a modest portion of Asiago cheese on top of each stuffed zucchini boat before arranging them neatly on a baking sheet.

Step 4

Place the baking sheet with the zucchini boats under the preheated broiler and allow them to cook until the cheese develops a delicious golden-brown hue, which usually takes about 10 minutes. Enjoy these delectable stuffed zucchinis fresh out of the oven!
