Mushroom Stuffed Zucchini

It has been a little bit since my last post, I know.. Hope you all didn’t miss me too much- ha! Regardless, I’m back at it with nothing other than another stuffing recipe! I told you all I have a stuffing problem :) How can you not love eating veggies that taste comforting, filling AND fresh?! Well, what are you waiting for?! Get to preppin!

Ingredients:

  • 2 Zucchinis
  • 2 large/3 medium Mushrooms
  • 4 cloves of fresh Garlic, minced
  • Olive oil (about 2 Tablespoons)
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh Thyme
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh Parsley
  • 3 Tablespoons of Goat cheese
  • 1/4 cup homemade breadcrumbs
  • Juice of 1 Lemon
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Olive oil spray
  1. Preheat oven to 375. Slice zucchinis in half, lengthwise; scoop out insides with a spoon. Place zucchinis on baking sheet and set aside.
  2. Roughly chop mushrooms into desired size (I like to keep the chunks varying in size for texture, but whatever floats your boat!) Add minced garlic, thyme, parsley, homemade bread crumbs (or store-bought if you want) and goat cheese to chopped mushrooms. Salt and pepper as desired.
  3. Add olive oil and lemon juice to stuffing mixture. Fill the zucchinis with stuffing, then spray with olive oil spray.
  4. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until stuffing is lightly toasted/browned.

As always.. Gluten free? Omit the breadcrumbs, or substitute for almond meal! Don’t like goat cheese? Try bleu or Parmesan! Add sauteed spinach or kale to the stuffing for some extra veggie action! Ditch zucchini altogether and use squash instead! The possibilities are endless in the kitchen, you just have to dare to be creative! Enjoy :)

Health & Love <3
